About This Home
As of October 2024Incredibly charming 2 bedroom cottage on the parade route in east Lake Bluff. Enjoy all that Lake Bluff has to offer from this coveted walk to town and beach location. Lovingly updated by the current owners (since 2021) including, but not limited to, a new kitchen and bath, new windows, updated plumbing and electrical, redone hardwood floors, 2 new A/C window units, new washer/dryer, fresh paint inside/out and significant basement work including waterproofing, a new sump pump and refinishing of the floors. Wonderful as it is but also full of possibility.
