About This Home

Nestled in the heart of East Highland Park, 251 Central Avenue offers the perfect blend of coastal atmosphere and downtown convenience. Situated on a lushly landscaped corner lot between vibrant Downtown Highland Park and the shores of Lake Michigan. Inside, the layout is designed for both comfort and effortless hosting. The spacious Living Room, anchored by a cozy Gas Fireplace, flows seamlessly into a large Dining Room with a beautiful bay window. Just off of the Living Room, step through the French Doors to the bright Family Room addition, outfitted with vaulted ceilings, skylights, a wall of built in shelves, a dry bar and sliders out to the Patio. The delightful eat in Kitchen has been updated with a Wolf Gas Range, Marble Countertops and a custom Stainless Steel Range Hood. Adjacent to the Kitchen, the lovely Screened Porch featuring a beadboard ceiling and wonderful terra cotta tile flooring, is the ideal sanctuary for morning coffee or bug free evenings. The second floor is host to a sprawling Primary Suite, offering an incredible amount of space thanks to the thoughtful integration of the 4th Bedroom. This expansive layout features rich Hardwood Floors and an abundance of closet space. For those needing an extra Bedroom, the floor plan can be easily converted back to it's original 4 Bedroom configuration. The Ensuite Bath rounds out the space with a large, oversized walk in shower and timeless porcelain vanity. Two additional Bedrooms and a Full Bath complete the second floor. The unfinished Basement is full of potential, a blank canvas to put your personal stamp on this extra 1,000 sq ft of space. Additional amenities include a practical attached two-car Garage, Underground Sprinkler System and Gutter Guards. A truly unbeatable location with unmatched convenience, this charming residence is ready for its next chapter!
