About This Home
As of March 2025Nothing but charm here! Originally a cottage overlooking the sylvan woods, this home has been in the same family since 1947. Lovingly maintained and expanded in recent years, this home is arguably the landmark home in east Lake Bluff, exuding charm and breathtaking gardens that cradle the cottage. This is a once in a lifetime house! Treasures include edge-cut fir floors, 9ft ceilings in many rooms, a first floor primary suite with 2 full baths large walk-in closet and laundry, 3 bedrooms/1bath on the second floor. The deep pour lower level encompasses 1 bedroom, sitting room, workroom, full bath and 2nd kitchen (microwave and refrigerator drawers) & laundry room, perfect for an au pair or live- in.
