This Kenilworth Home is a Perfect Condo Alternative
The Come Home North Shore team just listed this charming cottage at 371 Ridge Road in Kenilworth. The home is a perfect condo alternative and conveniently located near the train, schools and Ridge Road shopping. At $349,900, it’s undoubtedly the best value in Kenilworth!
The home has a fascinating history. Built in 1879, this cottage originally functioned as a tavern and was located across the street in Wilmette (then known as Gross Point). Word has it that the tavern’s two back bedrooms were rented out by the hour. With the onset of Prohibition, all of the taverns on Ridge Road were closed. (The village of Gross Point, having lost its major source of revenue, went bankrupt and was later annexed by Wilmette). The building was moved to Kenilworth and re-purposed as a residence.
The single-story home has spacious living and dining rooms, a light-filled family room, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. The large basement offers ample room for storage, workshop and laundry, though there is a stackable washer/dryer on the main floor, as well.
You can see more pictures and get more info about 371 Ridge Road here. If you’d like to tour the home, please give us a call at 847-881-6657 and we’d be glad to show it to you. You can search other Kenilworth homes for sale here.

City and Suburbs: The Best of Both Worlds at 724 Vernon Avenue in Glencoe
If you are looking for a cookie-cutter house on a suburban cul de sac, this is not the house for you.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a home that allows you to combine the advantages of in-town living with the benefits of the North Shore lifestyle, the house at 724 Vernon Avenue in Glencoe might just fill the bill.
You can enjoy living in a spacious 11 room home with a private patio and back yard in an area with great schools. But you can also walk out your front door and be just steps from Starbucks, the playground, shops, restaurants and the Metra. In fact, you can get downtown faster from here than you can if you lived in Roscoe Village!
The historically significant residence at 724 Vernon Avenue in Glencoe was originally built as the headquarters for the Chicago Telephone Company in 1908. It was expanded in 1920 when Illinois Bell was formed through a merger of Chicago Telephone and Central Union Telephone Company. The home began as a small brick one-story building and was enlarged in 1927 to the two-story, stucco-faced residence that you see today. During World War II the home was designated as a bomb shelter.
Over the years it has been substantially updated, with a newer kitchen that opens to a family room with built-ins and fireplace. The living and dining rooms with their dramatic fourteen foot ceilings, are perfect for entertaining.
While the original master suite and two other family bedrooms are on the main floor, the piece de resistance of this home is the newer loft-like master suite on the second floor, with doors opening to a lovely roof-top deck that overlooks the garden.
There is a two-car garage plus five outdoor parking spaces for visitors or clients; or those spaces could be rented to neighboring businesses, providing additional monthly income.
The large basement has media room, exercise room, bedroom and full bath, sauna, workshop and storage.
If you have thought about moving to the suburbs but feel ambivalent about leaving the convenience and walk-ability of the city, you should come see this home. You could not find a more convenient location within steps of town, train, shopping and dining.
Watch this video and get a better feel for the home. You can see more photos here. If you would like more information about 724 Vernon Avenue (or any other North Shore home), please give us a call at 847-881-6657. We’d be happy to help you!

North Shore Homes Not Listed in the MLS
There are many benefits to hiring the Come Home North Shore team to help you find your new home on Chicago’s North Shore.
One of them is that we have access to exempt listings, meaning that the homes are for sale but are not on the MLS or Trulia or Zillow or Realtor.com or Redfin or any of the other sites you may be searching for your next home. Sometimes these are some of the best properties on the North Shore but you won’t find them online and they won’t be open on Sunday.
Here are some of the exempt listings we currently have access to. If you would like to see any of these homes or receive our exclusive list of exempt listings on an ongoing basis, please call the Come Home North Shore team at 847-881-6657.
