About This Home

As of August 2019

Truly a rare offering in Lake Bluff, this property has it all! Ideally located on a quiet tree-lined street overlooking a canopy of mature trees, yet it is close to everything - schools, rec center, golf course, pool, train, and downtown. The home is classic and comfortable with a wonderful floor plan that orients many of the rooms towards the lush and expansive backyard. The heart of the home is the updated white eat-in kitchen that opens to the family room, which is a highly desirable amenity in today's market. A bonus sunroom with stylish shiplap walls and built-ins takes full advantage of the sundrenched property vistas. The master suite provides an ideal retreat with a spa-like bath that features a separate shower, whirlpool, and double sink vanity, plus extensive closet space. Hardwood flooring flows throughout the second floor as well, which includes a total of five bedrooms and three full bathrooms. This is the property that you have been waiting for!
