3021 N Wilshire Lane

Come in from under the long, sweeping portico, hang up your coat, and the room opens ahead of you, bright and warm. A wood beam anchors the vaulted ceiling and pulls you in, and the whole house feels like an invitation. The breakfast area sits in a full-length bow window overlooking the backyard, and it opens onto the fireplace room just below, so the cook never has to choose between making dinner and being with the people they love. The fireplace gives the room its glow, and on a cold night it's where you'll end up. When the weather's right, slide open the patio doors to the fire pit and a fenced yard with room to spread out. Upstairs, the bedrooms have a quiet level of their own, and the primary suite is a calm place to end the day. Downstairs, the finished sub-basement is ready to be whatever you need: an office, a workout room, a hangout. Tucked off the rec room, a finished hideaway with a low ceiling is a surprise worth seeing in person. Outside your door, Northgate's tree-lined streets make an easy walk, with Centennial Park steps away and a summer Concert in the Park to look forward to. Downtown Arlington Heights, the Metra station and outdoor dining are about a 10-minute drive, and Route 53, I-90 and I-294 are all within about 20 minutes. Assigned schools are J.W. Riley Elementary, Jack London Middle School and Buffalo Grove High School. Move in, and the neighborhood does the rest.
