Here's what we LOVE about 127 Leonard Wood North:
- Ideally situated facing large park (former parade grounds) and adjacent to the Forest Preserve and Open Lands. You can enjoy miles of walking, biking and cross-country ski trails, as well as almost a mile of lakefront.
- The house itself was designed to fit the existing architecture of the fort; yet once you get inside it has everything you want from a newer house.
- Surrounded by nature and open space, living here feels like being on vacation 365 days a year...but you're a quick walk to Highwood's vibrant restaurant scene or a quick ride to the city on the Metra train.
- The expansive front porch allows you to sit and watch kids and dogs cavorting in the park as you enjoy a glass of wine after a a busy day. Hearing the laughter of the children as they run about catching fireflies in the warm summer evening will take you back in time.
- The kitchen- top of the line appliances, center isalnd with prep sink and walk-in pantry are just what any cook could want.
- Storage galore - lots of closets and built-ins throughout the house.
- Windows, windows, windows - which flood the house with sunlight. And almost all of them have plantation shutters, so no need to buy expensive window treatments.
- Hardwood floors stained a rich, dark color throughout the first and second floors.
