Property description
SOLD DURING PROCESSING. This beautiful Nantucket home is a true gem in the heart of East Lake Bluff, designed by noted architect David Poulton and winner of the Gold Key Award for outstanding design. In a coveted East Center Avenue location, you are steps from Lake Michigan and Sunrise Beach as well as schools, parks and downtown Lake Bluff with fabulous restaurants, coffee shops, shopping and Metra train station. Step inside to discover a bright and airy open floor plan, where numerous windows flood the space with natural light. The interior boasts crisp white custom millwork and warm hardwood floors. The newer chef's kitchen features white custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, center island with breakfast bar and top of the line appliances. A large eat-in area opens to a charming screen porch that leads to the fabulous bluestone patio and lushly landscaped yard. The family room with fireplace is a great place to relax and unwind or entertain guests with the spacious dining room with custom built-ins nearby. Just off the two story foyer is the living room which is currently being used as a cozy study. Additionally, there is the convenience of two powder rooms on the 1st level. The grand staircase with large window overlooking the yard guides you to the second floor. Here you will find the spacious primary suite with fireplace and built-in features, along with a balcony for relaxing with a morning cup of coffee. The newer primary bath is luxurious with separate shower, jetted Bain ultra tub, dual sink areas and walk-in closet. Completing the 2nd floor are two additional bedrooms, both with walk-in closets and connected by a full bath. The lower level offers additional space for living with a second family room, full bath, office, laundry room and ample storage. The fully fenced yard is a private retreat and a great place to entertain family and friends. Three car heated garage. Nothing to do but move in and enjoy Lake Bluff living at it's finest!
