About 552 Burton Avenue

Imagine spending summer evenings walking to Ravinia Festival concerts, grabbing coffee or dinner just around the corner, playing tennis or pickleball across the street at Brown Park, and hopping on the Metra for an easy commute to downtown Chicago. Welcome to 552 Burton Avenue, where one of Highland Park's most coveted locations meets timeless mid-century charm. Beautifully reimagined with fresh designer staging, this all-brick split-level feels bright, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish. Sunlight pours through the home, highlighting hardwood floors, crown molding, and inviting living spaces that are equally suited for entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet evening at home. The updated kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into the main living areas. Upstairs you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and an updated full bath, while the finished lower level offers exceptional flexibility with a spacious family room, renovated full bath, and a fourth bedroom or private home office. Step outside to enjoy the fully fenced backyard with room to relax, garden, or entertain. Recent improvements including a new furnace, updated water heater, newer A/C, refreshed lighting, driveway, fencing, and numerous additional upgrades offer peace of mind for years to come. The location truly sets this home apart. Brown Park's tennis and pickleball courts are directly across the street, the Ravinia Metra station and Ravinia Festival are just moments away, Rosewood Beach is only minutes from your front door, and downtown Highland Park's restaurants, shopping, and community events are all within easy reach. For buyers looking ahead, the listing agent has confirmed with the City of Highland Park that a detached one-car garage is permitted, offering future flexibility for those who wish to add one. This is more than a home, it's an opportunity to enjoy one of the North Shore's most walkable, vibrant, and sought-after neighborhoods. **Seller is offering a Home Warranty from SUPER HOME WARRANTY which has been named Best Overall Home Warranty Company of 2026 by USA Today**
