Description

Tucked one house from Lake Michigan in East Lake Bluff's most coveted enclave - where the original Lake Bluff Artists' Colony once thrived - this storybook cottage delivers the rare combination of historic charm, designer finishes, and walkable lakefront living. This beautifully updated vintage home radiates character from the inside out and is much bigger than it looks! Enjoy the open floor plan, soaring ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, a floating staircase, built-in bookcases, walls of tall windows, and French doors that fill every room with light. A first-floor sunroom and dedicated office add flexibility, while second-floor laundry adds convenience. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece: top-of-the-line appliances, an exotic Wenge hardwood island, custom alder cabinetry, and granite and marble pastry countertops. The spacious primary suite occupies a large portion of the second floor, anchored by a luxury stone bathroom with Ann Sachs tile, an exquisitely designed walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, and dual mahogany vanities. The finished basement offers a flexibility with room for fourth bedroom or home gym, third full bath, wine cellar, and storage. Enjoy lake breezes and the sound of waves from your private stone patio, steps from Sunrise Park and direct access to Lake Michigan.
