Description
Welcome to 316 Ridge Avenue, a thoughtfully designed 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home in Highland Park. Sitting on a private corner lot above Ridge Avenue, this home offers a peaceful setting with mature landscaping, a well-planned layout, and plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining—all while being close to shopping, schools, and parks. Step into the open foyer, where the central staircase connects the home's main living areas. To the right, the great room runs the entire depth of the house, featuring a marble-surround fireplace with a wood-frame mantle. This room is perfect for both relaxing evenings by the fire and hosting larger gatherings, as it easily flows into the kitchen and foyer. The family room is a cozy retreat with a brick-accented fireplace, making it great for movie nights, reading by the fire, or unwinding at the end of the day. A sliding glass door leads directly to the backyard, offering quick access for outdoor play, grilling, or morning coffee on the patio. The kitchen is the heart of the home, with a double oven, cooktop, and a full wall of cabinetry. The eat-in area is flooded with natural light and has another set of sliding glass doors leading to the back patio, making it easy to enjoy meals inside or out. The open layout connects to both the great room and family room, ensuring that whether you're preparing dinner or helping with homework, you're always part of the action. A half bath is tucked off the foyer hall for guest convenience, while the mudroom near the garage entrance keeps daily life organized. With washer & dryer hookups, a sink, and extra closet space, this area is perfect for keeping laundry, shoes, and coats neatly stored. The oversized two-car garage offers high ceilings, ample storage, and a side door leading to the backyard for easy access to gardening tools or outdoor gear. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms connect through a large landing with a generous linen closet. The primary bedroom provides a private retreat with its own ¾ bathroom. The other three bedrooms share a remodeled full bathroom with a five-foot soaking tub, spacious shower, and towel warmer—a thoughtful touch for added comfort. These rooms are versatile, whether used as kids' rooms, guest rooms, or home offices. The finished basement offers even more flexible space. A large bonus room could be a game room, home theater, workout space, or playroom, while the fifth bedroom provides a private area for guests, older children, or an office. The additional ¾ bathroom is ideal for convenience, especially with direct walkout access to the backyard, making it easy to clean up after outdoor activities. The mechanical room offers ample storage or space for a workshop. The backyard is truly a highlight, offering privacy, space, and a peaceful atmosphere. Tucked against the hillside of Crosswinds Court, the yard is enclosed by a vinyl privacy fence and mature pine trees, creating a quiet and secluded outdoor retreat. A stone knee-high wall and landscaped shrubs define the flat, open yard, making it perfect for gatherings, sports, or even a Thanksgiving football game. The pergola, covered in wisteria, provides a shaded spot to sit and relax, while the awning-covered patio offers relief on hot summer days. Whether hosting a barbecue, gardening, or simply enjoying a quiet moment outside, this yard is designed for enjoyment. With multi-zoned baseboard heating and central AC, the home stays comfortable year-round. Off-street parking on the concrete driveway adds convenience, allowing space for two cars without using the garage. Lovingly maintained for 32 years, this home has been a place of growth and cherished memories. Every update was made with long-term comfort and quality in mind, ensuring that it will remain a wonderful place to live for years to come. Now, it's ready for its next chapter. This home is one you won't want to miss.Show Description
