Property Description
Never on the market before! Presenting a rare opportunity to own this warm and inviting home, owned by only one family, nestled on a double lot just one block from downtown Lake Bluff and several blocks from Lake Michigan. Traditional charm arrives with an elegant columned front porch and a wood clapboard siding and brick exterior. Inside, the residence feels timeless, courtesy of a beautifully executed full scale renovation in 2011. Defining the main level: wonderful circular flow connecting the front entry foyer and formal living and dining rooms with the rear informal spaces such as the kitchen, breakfast area and family room. Character-rich details added in 2011 give the interiors a distinguished quality yet with modern sensibilities. Hardwood floors flow throughout the first floor. Wainscotting elevates the dining room. A classically inspired fireplace anchors the living room as custom built-ins with a desk area overlook the backyard. The remodeled kitchen is a timeless statement, set around a large center island with abundant cabinet space and stainless steel appliances. Opening from the kitchen, a sun filled breakfast area provides a casual space to enjoy everyday meals. Off the breakfast area, the spacious family room leads to a large screened porch. Upstairs, the incredibly gracious primary suite beckons with a generous walk-in closet and a renovated full bath featuring double sinks and a large shower. A renovated hall bath with double sinks plus three additional bedrooms complete the second floor. The expansive finished basement with a third full bath offers a comfortable flex space for everything from gaming to TV watching and sleepovers to exercise and office space. A large fenced backyard with sweeping flat lawn and additionally fenced side yard complete the picture. This exceptional residence has been lovingly maintained and updated over the decades. Don't miss the opportunity to own this truly special property in the heart of Lake Bluff!
