About this House

You have to see this completely remodeled ranch in Lake Bluff with Lake Bluff grade schools and Lake Forest HS (and LOW TAXES!). SO much new here, and 2358 FINISHED square feet up and down! You'll love the large, eat-in gourmet kitchen with big bay window, quartz countertops, and shiplap walls with a coffee/wine station! Your arched doorway leads you to a large living room with a gas-start, wood-burning fireplace, espresso hardwood floors (newly finished), and a huge picture window. Your beautifully upgraded bath features a jetted tub, new vanity, new LVT flooring, new shiplap and everything designer! Your spacious primary bedroom (and the other two bedrooms) feature the same gorgeous espresso floors as the rest of the main floor! And then, bonus, you have a FULL, fully finished basement with brand new carpeting, new lighting, egress window in the potential 4th bedroom/flex room. You'll also love the large family room, wine cellar, storage closet, HUGE laundry room, and much more. So much storage...but it doesn't end there! Your garage is HUGE...a 4-car tandem garage (1364 sq. ft.!) with a workshop area, piping to hook up and make your garage a heated garage, and an attic you can stand up in! SO MUCH SPACE! Did we mention the oversized lot? How about the large concrete patio so PERFECT for entertaining? At .366 of an acre, there is so much room for all your needs! Lovely landscaping, an extra-long driveway to park 4-6 cars, MyQ garage door opener that you can program to your phone and car...so many thoughtful details here. Don't miss seeing it NOW (and check out our upgrades sheet coming soon under additional details)!
