730 Sheridan Road

Highland Park, Illinois 60035

Hear the gentle rhythm of Lake Michigan from this impeccably maintained, rarely available mid-century modern ranch near the lake, set along prestigious Sheridan Road in East Highland Park, where refined luxury, privacy, and timeless design converge. Built in 1958 and still owned by the original family, the home was designed by architect Arnold Schaffner. Upon entry, classic terrazzo flooring sets the tone for the home's architectural character and leads into a flowing open layout ideal for both elegant entertaining and modern daily living. A striking four-sided fireplace, clad in exposed aggregate stone-the same stone featured in the foyer terrazzo-anchors the living, dining, and family rooms. The main level offers four bedrooms and 2.1 baths, plus an additional full bath in the finished basement. Generously scaled rooms with high ceilings transition seamlessly from one space to the next, while the dining room features an even higher ceiling with indirect lighting tucked into exposed beams. Carrara marble floors imported from Italy add understated sophistication to the main living areas. A custom wall unit with integrated uplighting and downlighting, along with motorized window treatments in the family and living rooms, enhances comfort and convenience. Recently renovated bathrooms are beautifully appointed, including a spa-like primary bath with marble finishes, heated floors, and high-end fixtures, as well as a powder room featuring Carrara marble wainscoting and countertop. The thoughtfully finished basement, with porcelain plank tile flooring, provides expansive additional living space ideal for gatherings, recreation, or a private retreat. Outdoors, professionally designed landscaping by Mariani Landscape-with mature plantings, uplighting, and downlighting-creates a tranquil, resort-like setting perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, with major improvements including a new roof, new gutters with leaf filters and heating cables, new asphalt driveway, new front sidewalk, copper plumbing, a new concrete garage floor, and a new garage door designed to echo the rhythm of the adjacent family room windows. Located within the award-winning Ravinia Elementary and Highland Park High School districts, and just a short walk to the Ravinia Shopping District, Rosewood Beach, and the Ravinia Festival, this distinguished Sheridan Road home offers a rare opportunity for sophisticated, walkable living just moments from Lake Michigan.
