What the owner loves about this home
What we love most is the feeling of living in our own private forest, right here in Highland Park. Five secluded acres, mature trees and a peaceful pond make every season beautiful. We’ve treasured the space for our children to play and explore, along with the local schools. Walls of glass bring nature into the home, while downtown Highland Park, Ravinia and Lake Michigan are just minutes away. It’s a rare combination of privacy, architecture and everyday convenience.
