About this home
Some homes just feel right the moment you walk in - and 881 Marion is one of them. Tucked on a beautiful stretch of Marion Avenue in Highland Park's beloved Braeside neighborhood, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home has been thoughtfully transformed from the inside out, with carefully considered improvements that make everyday living feel effortless. The layout was reimagined with real life in mind - a dedicated home office, a beautifully reconfigured entry and dining area, a renovated staircase, and custom closets on the second floor all come together to create a home that just works. The finished basement adds even more flexible space, whether you're thinking playroom, gym, or cozy hang-out spot. In the kitchen, quartz countertops, a fresh tile backsplash, and quality fixtures make cooking a pleasure. Kelly Wearstler light fixtures add a designer touch throughout, and the updated powder room feels polished without being overdone. The big-ticket items are done too - two new furnaces and A/C systems (2021 & 2023), majority of the windows are new, a second electrical panel, and a 240V electric vehicle charger mean you can move in with complete peace of mind. Outside, the home was essentially re-introduced to the street: a reoriented front-facing entry, new front door, fresh exterior paint, a welcoming porch and walkway, and chimney tuckpointing all add to serious curb appeal. All of this in one of Highland Park's most sought-after neighborhoods - close to great schools, the lakefront, and everything that makes this community so special. This one is truly move-in ready....
