About This Home

As of February 2023

Excellent opportunity in Lake Bluff in an affordable price range! ! As you enter the home you will be greeted by a large living room with wood burning fireplace, recently refinished hardwood floors, freshly painted interior walls, baseboards and trim. The windows have all been replaced. The kitchen features cherry cabinets, granite countertops, double oven, 2-drawer dishwasher, and refrigerator/freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen are french doors overlooking the rear yard with opportunity to add a deck for grilling and entertaining. Upstairs you will find 2 large bedrooms, updated bathroom with shower/tub combo, and room for an office/nursery. Off the rear of the home is an enclosed porch overlooking the deep rear yard. The basement has been updated with luxury vinyl plank flooring and also includes a fireplace. Also included is an attached, 2-car garage. There is an opportunity to make additional improvements to add value and utility to the home and plenty of space for expansion, if desired. Located just a short distance to the Lake Bluff Elementary School and conveniently located between the Central Business District in Lake Bluff and shopping in downtown Lake Forest. Some remaining finishing touches may still be desired, and the home will be sold As-Is.
