If you are interested in a piece of history the home known as the Brookfield Kindergarten, could be a perfect for you. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath Prairie style home designed by famed architect William Drummond, has been completely renovated, winning the Kristin Visser Historical Preservation Award (given every other year to honor the renovation of a Frank Lloyd Wright or Prairie School building). The distinctive building provides instant curb appeal and recognition. The home itself is newly appointed, with recently renovated features. It is cooled with central air conditioning, and in cold weather the wood-burning fireplace in the family room keeps everything cozy. The house also boasts a full basement and an attached garage with two parking spaces. It is the surroundings that make this home remarkable, however. A gorgeous stone patio showcases a verdant and private backyard. Salt Creek literally runs through the backyard, and across it is a large plot of forested land. Owners will find kayak put-in spots steps from their back door! The world-famous Brookfield Zoo mins away, as is the Riverside-Brookfield High School. Metra's Brookfield stop is also less than three blocks away, and transportation across Chicagoland is extremely convenient.
