About This Home

As of October 2020

Watch the sunrise over Lake Michigan from the comfort of home. This newer construction, custom built home is in the heart of East Lake Bluff, just one block from the lake. Built in 2008 by James LaDuke and Associates, this fabulous, Craftsman style home was designed intentionally to blend seamlessly with the historic and charming character of Lake Bluff's quaint, & sophisticated style. Custom, high-end millwork was specified by the design team to enhance and coordinate the timeless feel of this house. No expense was spared with wide-plank, quarter sawn Oak flooring throughout the main and second level. Beautiful, top of the line, Marvin windows allow light to stream into the home. The intimate and cozy porch is ideal for just relaxing or enjoying the wonderful scenery in the neighborhood. It's painted, Pine plank floor is reminiscent of a bygone era. The beautiful kitchen is a chef's dream come true and features a dual-fuel, Wolf oven with 4-burner cooktop with oversized, center griddle, complimented by a matching, stainless steel, lighted exhaust hood. The oversized, center island is topped with a gorgeous, hand-crafted Walnut top and has ample seating space. The ceramic, farm-style sink, side-by-side, Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer and built-in, drawer style dishwashers are extraordinary. This wonderful space is open to the family room that includes a wall of built-in cabinets and shelving. The pantry, with additional sink and the mudroom have been outfitted with custom cabinetry and cubbies! And, all of this opens to the outdoor living area featuring a Wisconsin limestone patio. The master bedroom suite features a romantic fireplace with stone and wood surround, vaulted ceilings, and glorious views of the lake. The master bath features a freestanding tub and separate shower. The lower level was planned for comfort with floors that include radiant heat. The deep pour basement allows for tall ceiling that allow much desired, natural light. A fourth bedroom, full bath and ample storage are also included in the lower level.. Please contact the listing agents for special showing instructions.
