About This Home
As of June 2025Rare opportunity in East Lake Bluff to own a Mid-Century Modern home on a gorgeous .45 acre lot! Designed in 1955 by architect Frank Polito, this home has been in the same family since the mid-1960's, with much of its original detailing intact. The spectacular Great Room (Living Room and Dining Room open combo space) features a stacked stone fireplace wall as a focal point, plus windows overlooking the yard, patio, deck, pergola and more. The kitchen adjoins an eating area, with more MCM detailing. The family room has views of the yard on 3 sides. Upstairs, the primary suite is large enough to include a comfortable sitting area, plus an ensuite bath. Two more family bedrooms are very generous, with large closets; the 4th bedroom is smaller and has been used as an office. There is a hall bath. The basement has a large Rec Room, ample storage and mechanical rooms, the laundry area, and a bath with shower. There is an attached 2-car attached garage and an over-sized detached 2-car garage with storage. Enjoy this home as it is, or re-imagine it to match your desires. Per the Village of Lake Bluff, the house currently spans two legal lots. Property is being sold by the estate, "As Is".
