Property description
Just a block away from Lake Bluff's quaint and historic downtown, this newer-construction 4-plus bedroom, 11-room traditional home offers amazing value and includes many recent improvements - including a lower level that houses a 5th bedroom, bath, recreation room, playroom and laundry room! There's even a first floor library - a rare find in east Lake Bluff homes. Entering the home one is immediately struck with its classic lines and casual elegance. Hardwood floors, high ceilings and beautiful architectural appointments make this home a true stand-out by any measure. The dining room is as spacious as it is gracious. The adjacent living room offers plentiful room for entertaining - and there's room for a baby grand, too. The adjacent library is perfect for the home office needs of today's family and conveniently located away from the hustle and bustle of the family living areas. At the heart of the home is the gourmet's delight kitchen, with custom cabinetry, granite countertops and highest-end appliances. The butler's pantry provides a perfect staging and storage area as well. The kitchen opens to an inviting family room with a handsome gas starter fireplace - the perfect place for the family to come together at day's end. The first floor is also home to a powder room, and there is a large mudroom and pantry closet area by the back door of the house. This area could also house a first floor laundry, if so desired, with the plumbing already installed. Directly off the family room, is the open staircase to the lower level of the house, to create yet another family gathering area for movies, play and entertaining. Guests will enjoy the well-appointed bedroom and full bath on this level - as well as the nearby wet bar for late night snacks! A handy playroom serves double duty in hiding all the toys and providing a cozy space for child's play, with additional storage in the unfinished areas of the basement as well. A light and bright laundry room with ample counter and cabinet space completes the lower level picture of perfection. The living is easy on the second floor of the home as well, with four family bedrooms enhanced by three full baths. The master suite has a wonderful master bath and ample closet space. There are three more bedrooms and two baths between them. Outdoors, there is a beautiful brick tiered paver patio surrounded by professional landscaping Just a few years old and offering the best of everything - beauty, character, quality and location. Who could ask for anything more! We look forward to welcoming you home to the picture-perfect value that is 34 E. North Avenue in Lake Bluff! New Roof 2020 Front and back porches added
