OUTSTANDING OAK OASIS~Welcome home to 1836 Oak Avenue - where charm, convenience, and community come together in the heart of downtown Northbrook! This delightful 3-bedroom, 3-bath Cape Cod with a 3-car garage offers the perfect blend of character and condition-ideal for buyers seeking top-rated Northbrook schools and a friendly, social neighborhood. Just steps from Techny Prairie Park, Village Green, the Metra, and all the shops and restaurants downtown, the location in Northbrook Manor where they have block parties is unbeatable. The heart of the home is the vaulted family room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace (AS IS - not used by current owners), part of a thoughtful 1981 addition that expanded the original home to include an airy dining room, a third full bath, and an upstairs primary suite. The layout checks all the boxes with two bedrooms and two full baths on the main level, giving you options. The kitchen features granite counters and opens to a sunlit dining room that overlooks the professionally landscaped yard. Upstairs, the private primary suite includes a full bath and a lofted space ideal for a home office, reading nook, or even a dream walk-in closet. Bonus: two attic access doors-one in the office closet and another in the primary-for all your storage needs. The finished basement includes laundry, storage, and recreation space. Outside, you'll love relaxing on the gorgeous brick paver patio (new in 2014), complete with accent lighting-a peaceful setting for summer evenings. The large fenced corner lot features reinforced posts and well-drained grass, -perfect for pets, kids, or entertaining. The 3-car garage provides ample space for a workshop, storage, or a teen's car. This home is immaculate, well-maintained, and bigger than it looks-pride of ownership truly shines!
