About This Home
As of June 2025Extraordinary lakefront opportunity! This historic Lake Bluff jewel has been thoughtfully renovated/enhanced by the current owners resulting in a home with spectacular lake views and light corridors throughout. Classic finishes were selected marrying the home's vintage charm with today's modern conveniences. Generously sized rooms, rich millwork, hardwood floors and sweeping vistas of Lake Michigan throughout. Finished basement w/large recreation room, office/study and full bath. Beautiful outdoor spaces surround the home, including a delightful lakefront deck with a covered awning and a private enclosed terrace to the west. This special home is a delight both inside and out. If you lived at 727 E. Center you'd never want to leave home.
