Northfield .9 acre with a swimming pool and new high efficiency windows in 2024. The Hemphill name has long been
associated with high quality construction and design, reflected here in the
excellent floor plan, fine amenities and a few eclectic features. Circular
driveway spans the 200’ frontage and provides parking for more than 20 cars.
Lovely bluestone courtyard entry, large foyer, sophisticated first floor plan,
all classic Hemphill. The formal rooms are large and elegant, the back of the
house is an open plan, a wall of windows with 3 doors to the yard, terrace and
pool. A graceful turned staircase takes
you up to an open hallway and 5 large bedrooms, two with an attached bath and 3
share the hall bath. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Great back yard, full sized pool, flag stone terrace has a
long, circular brick walled enclosure, an eclectic feature that is typical of a
Jim Hemphill designed home. The open plan spans the back of the house from the
jewel box of a sun room to the large family room/ table area / kitchen /
mudroom combo with laundry, pantry, ice maker, wine fridge, cleaning closet
conveniently located by the garage. There is a full finished basement accessed
from the house and also has a staircase and door to the 2 ½ garage. Full bath,
access from back gate and garage entry to keep the kids in wet swimsuits out,
or not. Very flexible floorplan.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Ideal setting and locale. Sunset Ridge School is a very
short distance, easy access to expressways and commuter trains. Local amenities
are impressive, restaurants, sports, entertainment, shopping, parks, trails,
schools, house of worship, even a great Post Office, all within a short drive
or walk. Come and see!<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ6KdLczcWn6Yd3AXh6aqtw825tg5glzGvUqlq2ZQbYSwciF6RXfBhtWEvdTYwAJp9vFzsV8HWlMIWXRpFmAJWut9Mp8DuxvQ03gNkjVQ73vC4qdhSBJovXKFkGXlk0vZ9Mvl5Nijt5RRrVUUOG8Va46WEvW0BvqP39AK7gP-5kLtojzd8WvpNq2PqphU/s900/1643326154_at-cire-logo-stacked-cmyk.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="486" data-original-width="900" height="108" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ6KdLczcWn6Yd3AXh6aqtw825tg5glzGvUqlq2ZQbYSwciF6RXfBhtWEvdTYwAJp9vFzsV8HWlMIWXRpFmAJWut9Mp8DuxvQ03gNkjVQ73vC4qdhSBJovXKFkGXlk0vZ9Mvl5Nijt5RRrVUUOG8Va46WEvW0BvqP39AK7gP-5kLtojzd8WvpNq2PqphU/w200-h108/1643326154_at-cire-logo-stacked-cmyk.jpeg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089941190175746138.post-24328705609154780482024-03-25T15:52:00.000-05:002024-03-25T15:52:21.513-05:00Glenview New Construction Single Family Homes: US Census Monthly Permit Survey<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px;"> </span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12.8px;">This chart shows on the number of new housing units authorized by building permits</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: left;">through February</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12.8px;">.
