About this home

Just one block from Lake Michigan and Sunrise Beach Park with Seasonal Lake views, this stately expanded Colonial pairs timeless curb appeal with 4,000+- square feet-and a rare 3+Car Garage with a soaring ceiling. A classic, symmetrical facade and manicured hedge-lined walk set the tone. The second floor offers five bedrooms and three full baths with a thoughtful, functional layout. Two front bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, one with a sitting room and access to a southwest-facing sun deck while two additional Bedrooms share a second full Bath conveniently located near the laundry room. Tucked quietly at the back of the home, the spacious primary suite offers wonderful privacy. The 1st floor includes a white wood Kitchen w/granite, SS appliances, built-ins, walk in pantry, an island and separate eating area all enjoying stunning natural light. A formal Dining room with built-ins - also eastern exposure. Not to miss elegance in the Living room with WB fireplace and hand-crafted built-in cabinetry. A grand size Family room w/custom cabinetry, filled with windows and western exposure, make for beautiful sunsets and open to the private, peaceful backyard. Lastly, a home Office/Playroom/Den sits right off the Living room. Rich millwork, elevated ceilings, french doors, custom built-ins, and a double staircase highlight the home's character, balanced by generous room sizes, great storage and plenty of room to get lost in. Outdoors, the fenced yard feels like a private garden with mature trees, blooming landscaping, and a custom brick patio. Walk-up Attic, and partially finished Basement complete the offering- all on sought-after Center Ave in Magical Lake Bluff.
