About This Home
As of August 2024For those who gravitate towards traditional, but are intrigued by the vibe of a modern farmhouse, this home combines the best of both worlds! Situated in Belle Foret (beautiful Forest!), this hidden gem exudes the ambiance of a country house getaway, set on .66 acres with private courtyard, deck, covered front porch, plus a screened porch where your pets can enjoy an enclosed space to enjoy some fresh air. The second floor offers 5 bedrooms, including a palatial-sized primary suite complete with luxury bath and separate study, plus two bedroom wings that have 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom in each. The kitchen is the hub of the home, with loads of white cabinets and updated stainless appliances, tons of counter space, and room for the largest farm table imaginable. In addition, there is a formal living room where you can open the French doors to fill the room with summer breezes (think book club gatherings), a dining room for special occasion meals, plus tall ceilings, elaborate millwork, two cozy fireplaces, a huge main floor laundry/mud room, finished basement with rec and exercise rooms, built-in workstation for home office or hobby, and plenty of storage. The wooded and winding setting is within a minute of Lake Bluff Elementary School (K-5), the rec center, pool and golf course. Once featured as "Our Anniversary House" in Country Living Magazine, the home has been expanded, steadily enhanced and improved with todays favorite amenities.
