9026 Murphy Lane Skokie, IL 60076

This one-of-a-kind custom-built ranch was created as a forever-home in 2007. You will love the 9' ceilings and an open dining & family room concept with a swinging door to a large kitchen with a massive island, new granite counters, stone backsplash, pendant lights, hardwood cabinetry, and newer appliances, including a double-oven. The versatile floor plan features a den, which could certainly be a 3rd bedroom. ---- There are Tigerwood hardwood floors, a relaxing decor, and quality finishes throughout. The primary bedroom suite features an L-shaped sitting area which faces a fireplace and sliding-glass doors out to a brick-paver mini patio, just perfect for outdoor reading, morning coffee, or private space for relaxation. The huge walk-in closet is completely custom-organized and the en suite bathroom features a beautiful mosaic tiled separate shower plus an exquisite claw-foot bathtub. For truly one-level living, you can install the washer & dryer in the master closet by using the existing laundry hook-ups. ---- All of the tile floors and the entire basement feature radiant floor heat. The basement, with 8.5' ceilings and currently used as a rec room and office, offers amazing expansion potential for more bedrooms, work-space, fitness room, recreation or contemplative space. The top-quality mechanicals and systems are carefully placed to avoid impeding future finished spaces. A brand new roof and LeafGuard gutters were installed in 2020. The sale includes an AHS Combo home warranty plan, which covers the appliances, plus electric, plumbing, and mechanical systems. The covered front-porch overlooks the low-maintenance yard, which features a rock garden, native plantings, stone pavers, and a side patio. The large 2-car, attached garage is adjacent to a convenient mudroom. ---- Uber-private location within the Timber Ridge area, yet offers easy access to parks, buses, Evanston schools, Dempster St. shopping & more!
