Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts?

Learn what makes one of the best homes for sale in Skokie even better.

We were thrilled when a Starbucks with a drive-thru opened up near by. The Starbucks made it incredibly convenient to grab a cuppa joe on the way to work or preschool. It also gave us a place to walk for a treat after playing at Lockwood Park or hang out while waiting for an oil change at Car-X.

Now there's a new option in town--Dunkin' Donuts! A new shop opened up right across the street from Lockwood park.

Of course, if you don't need your morning caffeine with a side of doughnuts, or topped with whipped cream and loaded with flavor shots, you can simply make it at home, like the man of the house does, in our under-the-counter coffee maker.
Note the GFI outlet we installed to make the kitchen safer.
And if you don't need your morning caffeine in the form of coffee, there's always this.

Cedar hallway closet

Our Skokie House is for sale and we love to show it off! We maximized the storage in our updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch by installing closet systems throughout our home. Here is the official California Closet System in our cedar storage closet on the main floor.

We use this for jackets, purses, backpacks, lunch bags, craft and some cleaning supplies. We also store beach towels in the summer and hats and mittens in the winter.

This closet is also home to a hand-vac that is charging when not in use as well as the millions of canvas bags we've accrued over the years.

Best of all this closet has a "magic light" that turns itself on when you open the door and shuts off when you close it.
