Description
Located just one block from downtown and steps from Lake Michigan, this classic red brick Georgian home sits in a premier East Highland Park location. Featuring 6 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and elegant vintage details, including crown moldings, hardwood floors, and decorative millwork, this residence blends timeless charm with modern updates. The first floor welcomes you with a recently renovated vestibule leading into a gracious foyer. A spacious living room, perfect for entertaining, flows into a cozy library/sunroom - ideal for a home office or additional seating. The large dining room, with French doors opening to a screened-in porch, is perfect for hosting family and friends. The eat-in kitchen boasts wood cabinetry, Corian and granite countertops, a generous island, a butler's pantry, and French doors leading to an expansive bluestone patio and backyard. Upstairs, the primary suite features a marble clad fireplace, two closets and a marble bathroom with double vanity, steam shower and soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms (one currently used as an office) share a hall bath. The handsome wood-paneled office with built-ins opens to a second-floor balcony overlooking the property. The finished third floor offers a spacious family room that makes a perfect kids' hangout space, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a large, organized storage closet with custom built-ins. The spacious unfinished basement provides laundry and ample storage space. Outside, the professionally landscaped, fully fenced backyard is anchored by a generous-sized bluestone patio, ideal for outdoor living. The home includes a 2-car garage plus an additional detached 2-car garage accessible from rear alley. Updates include newer windows and mechanicals plus a newer Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. A quintessential East Highland Park beauty.
