Description

Stunning East Highland Park Gem! Just steps from Lake Michigan, the Metra station, and downtown Highland Park, this Country French-style home beautifully blends timeless elegance with everyday functionality. From the moment you arrive, it impresses with its stately brick facade, long private driveway, fresh exterior paint, and new 2025 Class 3 Impact Atlas architectural roof. Inside, rich hardwood floors, high-quality Marvin windows, and detailed millwork create a warm, refined atmosphere. The sun-drenched living room offers custom built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors that open to a charming year-round sunroom. The kitchen boasts solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook with built-in hatch/bar and banquette seating. The main level also includes a formal dining room, sleek powder room, laundry area, and direct access to the attached EV-ready garage -complete with a Tesla wall charger. Upstairs, the flexible floor plan includes six spacious rooms. The primary suite features an ensuite bath, a large dressing room, and a private, east-facing terrace ready to be finished. Multiple bedrooms/offices provide ample space for family, guests, and work-from-home, enhanced by fast fiber internet throughout. The partially finished basement impresses with a large home gym - complete with rubber flooring and a mirror wall, a full bath, and extensive open space with newly resurfaced floors, walls, and ceilings. And then there's the attic: soaring to 16 feet. Untouched. Waiting. A loft? A studio? A gallery? Outside, the professionally designed landscape greets you with evergreens, mature trees, and blooming perennials. A private brick patio offers the perfect setting to relax or entertain. A new custom cedar fence adds both beauty and function, ideal for pets or gatherings. Recent drainage improvements and a full-yard sprinkler system make for effortless maintenance. An ideal retreat for downtown commuters, with the Metra station just a short distance away - allowing you to work in the city and come home to peace, beauty, and charm by the lake. Truly a one-of-a-kind home!
