Imagine a summer weekend in your new home--a noteworthy Gothic Revival landmark with superb modern conveniences located in prime East Highland Park just 2.5 blocks from the lake. After breakfast in the streamlined white kitchen with its sunny dining area and walk-in pantry, you hop on your bike for a 10-minute ride to one of two beaches, or take a walk past the wide boulevards, ravines and historic homes of your neighborhood. The afternoon might offer games or a movie in the newly finished, multi-purpose basement recreation room or a relaxing putter about the professionally landscaped, 207-foot deep yard. (No need to water though, thanks to the in-ground irrigation system.) Although there is a two-car garage, you skip the car and stroll to Highland Park's vibrant downtown for drinks and dinner at one of the many restaurants and cafes. Or maybe you choose to entertain in your elegant double parlor with its majestic windows, gas fireplace and room for a grand piano. Provisions come from the nearby Sunset foods or the Ravinia Farmers Market, again just 5 minutes away. After bidding your guests goodbye, you sleep peacefully knowing that the current owners have taken meticulous care of this local landmark. Updates include 29 new windows since 2017, basement renovation and spa bath (2021), house repainted (2021), tuckpointing of chimney and foundation (2021), water heater (2021), new AC (2017), new wood floors on first floor (2016-2020), new roof (2016), and a new garage (2013). The large lot affords plenty of room for expansion-- plans for an addition would be reviewed by the village's historic preservation committee.
