Once upon a time, I—Goldilocks—wandered through these very woods searching for a place that felt just right. And when I found 5 Oak Brook Lane, nestled in the storybook Merrick Woods of Merrick, I knew my adventures had brought me home at last. But now, dear house hunter, it’s your turn for a happily ever after—because I’m ready to pass this very special home on to someone who will love it just as much as I have. This charming 5–6 bedroom Ranger Ranch is neither too big nor too small—it’s just right for families of every shape and size. You’ll arrive without a single bramble in your path, thanks to the circular paved driveway (I learned the hard way about wandering through forests!). Step inside—shoes off, please!—and you’ll be greeted by a sunlit entryway so warm and inviting, you’ll know at once this place has been truly cherished. To the left, the layout flows effortlessly: a cozy living room for curling up with your favorite tales, a cheerful kitchen for whipping up porridge that’s never too hot or too cold, and a snug den where you can rest your head without worrying about any bears showing up uninvited. To the right, there’s a welcoming guest room, a sparkling full bath, and a formal dining room that’s hosted many a porridge party and woodland feast. Upstairs, you’ll find the primary suite—spacious enough for even Papa Bear’s standards! There’s an electric fireplace for cozy winter nights, an ensuite bath perfect for bubble-soaked daydreams, and closets so deep they feel enchanted. The laundry is right there, too—no trudging baskets through the forest! And with three more bedrooms, there’s room for every cub, critter, or guest you can imagine. This home has all the comforts you’d wish for: central air to keep you cool, radiant heat to warm your toes, a newer roof to shelter you from stormy nights, and updated systems to make life easy. Whether you dream of a bustling household or a peaceful nook to work from home, you’ll find that this place—like every bowl of porridge I’ve ever tasted here—is just right. So, if you’re ready to make your fairytale come true in the heart of Merrick Woods—districted to the famed Calhoun High School—take a look at 5 Oak Brook Lane. From one happily ever after to the next, I promise you: this is the home you’ve been searching for. Signed, GL
