About This Home

As of August 2025

Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully expanded in 2008, this warm and inviting East Lake Bluff home continues to impress with a substantial 2024 renovation. The result is a light-filled, functional, and elegant home that is perfect for today's lifestyle. Set on an expansive 0.2-acre lot, the home offers both space and privacy, featuring a spacious fenced backyard and a stamped concrete patio-perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or play. The 2008 improvements included the creation of a bright breakfast room, an expanded kitchen, a luxurious primary bath with a double vanity, separate shower, and whirlpool tub, a walk-in closet, and a fully finished lower level. In November 2024, the home underwent another stunning transformation. The kitchen was elevated with Italian marble backsplash, quartz countertops, and additional custom pantry cabinetry. Newly refinished light hardwood flooring and a custom banister with spindles enhance the warm, modern aesthetic throughout the first floor, which flows seamlessly from room to room. The spacious kitchen features a large island with breakfast bar, opening into a sun-drenched breakfast room-ideal for casual dining and entertaining. The family room, anchored by a striking fireplace, overlooks the peaceful backyard patio, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat, accompanied by three additional bedrooms, a hall bathroom, and a convenient stackable washer and dryer. The finished basement includes a generous recreation room, powder bathroom, second laundry area, and ample storage. This beautifully maintained home offers both form and function in one of Lake Bluff's most desirable areas just blocks from the beach and town - ready for you to move in and enjoy.
