Too often the terms "family-friendly" and "perfect for entertaining" can't be applied to the same home. That's not the case with 775 Sunset Ridge Rd in Northfield, a North Shore Chicago suburb that residents tout for its "country feeling."
The home is set back several hundred feet from Sunset Ridge Rd and is accessed via a private, tree-canopied lane. I stopped by to visit Maureen Mohling of Coldwell Banker, one of our local correspondents, who had decided to host an open house despite its being Mother's Day. Maureen guessed (correctly, as it turned out) that the popular Mother's Day brunch at Sunset Ridge Country Club, directly across the road, would draw home buyers.
Maureen introduced me to the owners of the home, Heidi and Jerry, who graciously accepted my invitation to talk about what they enjoyed about living in Northfield in the home they built 21 years ago but that seems timelessly contemporary.
The 6-bedroom home, with 6 full and 2 half baths and a 3-car garage on just over an acre is priced at $1,950,000. For parents and offspring who enjoy bonding around sports, the home has a trampoline, an adjustable basketball hoop and a 3-hole back yard golf course. Sunset Ridge Country Club offers a range of sports activities, including the only trap and skeet shooting range on the North Shore.
