About This Home

As of August 2021

This well-built, four bed, four bath custom home in East Highland Park provides four levels of finished space in approximately 3800 delightful square feet. Just inside the entry, a first floor bedroom-bathroom suite can be used as a home office for seeing clients while maintaining family privacy. The dining room blends naturally with the living room and heated sunroom, both of which provide access to the wide back deck and fenced yard. This open, naturally bright space offers a wood-burning fireplace set between custom-made built-in bookshelves. Adjacent to the dining room is the granite counter kitchen with updated appliances. A convenient mud room is between the kitchen and the attached, two-car garage with significant attic storage space. The second floor has a bright primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a secondary bedroom, both of which have private balconies, as well as a third bedroom and additional bathroom. Ascend another flight to the finished attic that is large enough for a private office and exercise room. This beautiful home also has a finished basement that has space for your ping pong table, playroom, entertainment setup and an additional home office, and is complete with a full bath, laundry room and utility room. New hot water heater (2/21). Seller's tax appeal was successful and the savings will be reflected on the 2020 tax bill. Nearby you can enjoy features that make Highland Park such a pleasant community: Ravinia, the lake, restaurants, trails, parks, shops and the conveniently located Metra station.
