Better than new construction, and actually yours: a true single-family home on its own beautifully landscaped lot, with three generous floors, a rooftop deck with city views, and thoughtful upgrades everywhere you look. The open main floor is built for hosting, with a well-appointed kitchen, massive pantry, and room for everything from weeknight dinner to a house full of friends. Upstairs, a bright second-floor lounge makes a perfect movie room, office, or retreat, while the entire top floor becomes your private primary suite with a spacious bath and an enormous custom-organized closet you may briefly consider living in. There's an attached two-car garage with EV charging, central structured Ethernet, smart garage access, Ring security, app-controlled Philips Hue exterior lighting, rooftop patio lighting, reinforced TV-mount locations, extra storage, and even the obligatory Harry Potter room under the stairs. Outside, the tiered front yard is made for hanging out, and the custom-built dedicated dog run has AstroTurf and downward-facing lighting designed to keep pups visible without lighting up the neighborhood. And the location delivers: Highland Park Corner Store is just around the corner, as are the rebuilt Highland Park Improvement Club and its community events , and the restaurants, food trucks, nightlife, and roller skating of White Center and Rat City are minutes from home. Come see it. There's a lot more here than the photos can tell you.
