*** MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED. HIGHEST AND BEST DUE BY 5PM SUNDAY, MAY 10*** Welcome Home to 5255 Suffield Terrace, Skokie Some homes are just houses. This one has soul. Tucked into a friendly corner of southwest Skokie, this stately colonial has been loved, lived in, and thoughtfully cared for - the kind of place where neighbors wave from the driveway and every upgrade was made to last. Getting around is a breeze with the Edens Expressway nearby, plus all the shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences you could need just down the road. Step through the double-wide front door and you're greeted by a bright, open first floor that means business in the best way - rich hardwood floors underfoot, a newly renovated kitchen (high end appliances) anchored by a generous island made for lingering over morning coffee, a proper dining room for Sunday dinners, and a spacious laundry room that keeps life running smoothly. The attached garage? Spotless, with an epoxy floor you could practically eat off. Head upstairs and you'll find four solid bedrooms, including a primary suite with a brand-new bathroom featuring warm radiant floors - a small luxury that feels like a big one on a cold Chicago morning. The three additional bedrooms are roomy and well-appointed, each with generous closet space, and a full hall bath rounds out the upper level. Down below, the full-footprint basement is a blank canvas ready to become whatever you need - a cozy family room, a home gym, a play space, or all three. And the bones of this home? As good as they come. The owners have invested where it counts: new mechanicals (2023), new appliances (2018), a 50-year metal roof (2020), new epoxy garage floor (2022), and a thermostatic attic fan to keep things comfortable year-round. This is a home built to hand down.
