As of November 2020Exceptional and distinctively designed, this meticulously maintained Ted Brown built home is located on one of Lake Bluff's most private and desirable streets.

The master suite includes access to a balcony overlooking the back yard, fireplace, plantation shutters, and large bathroom suite. A Jack and Jill bathroom connects the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms; the 4th bedroom has a private bathroom. Other notable features include a full finished basement with a 5th bedroom, that is currently being utilized as an exercise room, a full bathroom with a walk-in steam shower, an enormous game and recreation room, and plenty of additional room for storage. There is a screened in porch with access to the large professionally designed and landscaped fenced back yard. Mudroom access to an attached extra deep 3 car garage. Only a one and a half block walk to Sunset Park, Lake Bluff Beach and the waves of Lake Michigan, Lake Bluff has been named one of the Top 10 Seaside Towns in America!
