Perfectly positioned in East Lake Bluff, just east of downtown shops, dining, and the Metra – and just west of Lake Michigan and the beach – this beautiful home offers an exceptional blend of walkable convenience, timeless charm, and modern renovation. Updated in 2021, this home is truly move-in ready, showcasing thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and attention to detail throughout. The stunning kitchen features quartz countertops, abundant storage, a Viking range with hood, a Bosch dishwasher, Kohler fixtures, designer lighting, and wide-planked oak hardwood floors. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room, with a wood-burning fireplace (gas starter), custom shelving, and direct access to the brick patio – ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A separate dining room with a picture window overlooks the backyard, while the generously sized living room offers additional built-in shelving and is an inviting gathering space. The attached two-car garage and mud room provide rare year-round convenience. The primary suite includes a beautifully organized walk-in closet and a renovated en-suite bath with dual vanity and mosaic tile. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a second updated full bath with dual vanity complete the second floor. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility with high ceilings, perfect for a playroom, office, gym, or future bedroom, along with a full bathroom and laundry room. Outdoor living shines with a brick paver patio, raised garden planters ready for planting, and a charming chicken coop for fresh eggs. The sunny front porch delivers front-row seats to Lake Bluff’s Fourth of July parade – a treasured village tradition. Walk to Artesian Park, the middle school, bike path, beach, and all that downtown Lake Bluff has to offer. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated, impeccably maintained home in one of Lake Bluff’s most desirable locations.
