Absolute perfection.....this rare east Lake Bluff treasure offers a singular opportunity to live one block from Lake Michigan in a spectacular, fully renovated classic 1927 home. Situated on nearly half an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, this private in-town oasis, is just steps to the beach, town and train. Completely and thoughtfully renovated/expanded by LaDuke, seamlessly blending timeless craftmanship & character with modern convenience. Special attention was given to maintaining the historic details & charm of the original home, while achieving modern comfort w/newer windows, mechanicals, plumbing & electrical. The exceptional first floor layout features a gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances & large center island, a spectacular family room w/fireplace & access to the delightful screened porch w/fireplace & views of the beautiful backyard. The first floor also has handsome living & dining rooms, a lovely paneled den, a well-appointed mud room opening to the heated garage plus 2 half baths. Upstairs the primary suite is truly a private sanctuary including a spacious bedroom w/lovely fireplace, window seat, handsome built-in cabinetry & access to a deck w/seasonal lake views, a luxurious bath w/heated floors, soaking tub, separate shower & generous storage, plus a private office/sitting room & 2 enormous walk-in closets (7x21 & 12x9). The second floor also features 3 large additional bedrooms, a beautiful hall bath & an ensuite one, plus a laundry room. The expanded basement boasts a deep pour recreation room, a second laundry room, a half bath, plus additional play & storage rooms. This home is as delightful outside as indoors w/lushly landscaped grounds, flagstone walkways & patio, an in-ground spa & charming covered areas. Too many improvements to list, but most notable include a new DaVinci Select Shake roof, chimney tuckpointing & second floor decks/railing rebuilt (2025). Truly perfection at every turn.
