About This Home

A short 4 minute stroll from the shores of Lake Michigan, this fully renovated Lake Bluff residence pairs polished finishes with generous proportions. Just a four-minute walk to Sunrise Beach, it puts the lakefront within easy reach. Step inside and the home opens across 4,142 square feet of refreshed living space, with warm hardwood floors underfoot. The updated kitchen is a bright, inviting hub, ready for quiet mornings and lively gatherings alike. With seven bedrooms and 4 full baths and 3 half bathrooms, each updated and finished to a refined standard, the layout offers room to spread out, host overnight guests, or shape the spaces to suit your life. The finished basement adds even more flexibility, giving you a level of living space beyond the main floors. Set on a corner lot, the property offers an open, airy feel and added presence on the street, with extra room to enjoy the outdoors. Beyond your door, Lake Bluff's lakeside setting is at your fingertips. Walk to Sunrise Beach for early light on the water, or explore the trails and woodland of the Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve nearby.
