About This Home
As of June 2026Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in east Lake Bluff, this landmark home is recognized and admired for its classic Tudor charm. Built in 1929, the brick-and-slate residence offers nearly 6,000 square feet of living space across three finished levels on a beautifully wooded 3/4-acre lot bordering a scenic ravine. The exterior conveys architectural presence and permanence. Inside, the home feels warm and personal, with well-proportioned rooms and a thoughtful layout that balances formal spaces with comfortable everyday living. The walnut-paneled great room anchors the main level, centered around a fireplace with an Indian limestone surround. Nearby, the formal dining room provides excellent scale and is ideal for holiday gatherings. The kitchen blends classic style with modern function, featuring marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, an eat-in area, and a butler's pantry. A family room with built-ins offers comfortable everyday space and leads to a first-floor office or sunroom is well suited for remote work, reading, or quiet mornings and overlooks the backyard and ravine. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a newer bath and a large custom-designed closet room by Lynch Construction. Four additional bedrooms and three additional bathrooms complete the second level, including a Jack-and-Jill arrangement, a private en suite, and a hall bath, providing flexibility for family, guests, and long-term needs. The finished third floor adds valuable living space with a second family room, media room, guest bedroom, and full bath, providing an ideal retreat for teens, visitors, or extended stays. Outdoor living centers around a stone patio and firepit with wooded ravine views. The front and rear yards offer space to play and gather, while mature trees frame the property and provide privacy. Additional features include hardwood floors in most rooms, leaded glass windows, a two-car attached garage, and a lower level with a full bath, laundry, storage, and stair access to the side courtyard. Thoughtful updates throughout respect the home's original character. Located in one of Lake Bluff's most desirable neighborhoods, this home combines timeless Tudor architecture, generous living space, and a private yet convenient setting-an exceptional long-term opportunity in a highly sought-after location.
