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.”
I stopped in 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. 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.
