Description

Few opportunities arise to live on the boulevard of Center Avenue in east Lake Bluff, especially within two blocks of the shores of Lake Michigan. Beautifully improved by the same family for decades, the home's character has been thoughtfully preserved and enhanced through tasteful renovations and well-planned expansions. The residence exudes classic storybook charm with its steeply pitched gables and inviting wraparound porch nestled amid mature trees and lush greenery. This gracious porch is truly the heart of the home, featuring a partially screened section ideal for relaxing or entertaining throughout the seasons. Inside, an inviting foyer flows seamlessly to light-filled interiors: a charming library with a fireplace, a formal dining room, and living room with porch access and large windows. The kitchen, timelessly remodeled as part of an addition, opens to a generously sized breakfast room with a planning desk and ample built-ins, flanked by a wall of windows and access to the screened porch. Opening from the breakfast room, a spacious family room centered around a fireplace and abundant built-in storage knits together a harmonious setting for everyday life. A convenient powder room, mudroom/laundry, and attached two-car garage also reside on the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite unfolds like a sunlit aerie with dramatic cathedral ceilings, abundant windows and skylights, multiple walk-in closets, a spa-like bath with a separate tub and steam shower, and a private expansive treetop sun deck. Three additional bedrooms share two updated full baths-including one ensuite. Another deck resides off the hallway, overlooking the front entry. Rich architectural detailing throughout, multiple spaces for indoor and outdoor entertaining, and a location just minutes from the lake make this home an enduring Lake Bluff treasure. With many stories to tell, it's ready to begin its next chapter. Showings to begin July 24th.
