About This Home

As of November 2023

Location, Location, Location. Almost 3/4 acre in East Lake Bluff at the corner of prestigious Sheridan Road and Cambridge. The circle driveway with brick inlay welcomes you to this very private 4 bedroom (plus 1st floor option and basement option), 2.5 bath home. Slate floors greet you in the foyer of the center entry colonial farmhouse. Tons of natural light, plantation shutters, and two fireplaces grace the first floor gathering rooms. The open floor plan features a family room open to the kitchen while maintaining separate and large living room and dining room. The white kitchen has granite countertops, breakfast bar seating, and neutral ceramic flooring. There is plenty of room for an eat-in kitchen table and the ceiling features white wood planks. An additional first floor room offers flex space as an office, bedroom, library, or den. Four pretty bedrooms are found upstairs; the primary is ensuite. The finished basement offers rec room space and plenty of additional storage. Sought after mudroom off the attached (separate entry) 2.5-car garage and has a charming Dutch-door and 1st floor washer/dryer set up. Enjoy nature from the huge deck off the kitchen and family room. The cedar siding is in great shape and the dormer roof is copper. The backyard is fully fenced and has a blue stone area. Property has been well cared for: new paint, new carpet, upstairs hardwood floors are stunning (just refinished), new refrigerator, newer water heater and washer and dryer. Close to top-rated Lake Bluff Elementary and Middle School and Lake Forest High School, Fitness Center, pool, golf course, Metra and Sunrise Beach (Hello, Lake Michigan!). Lake Bluff has a wonderful downtown area with several restaurants, coffee shops, post office, unique boutiques, salons, an incredible 4th of July Parade, and the Village Green for summer concerts. Summer isn't over here, enjoy the North Shore life - Lake Bluff style. While everything is known to be in working condition, this is a family estate and being sold as-is.
