About this House

(Will pay buyer's agent fee)

A rare Lake Bluff lot with panoramic ravine views. There are only 9 other lots like it in Lake Bluff and none of the others are for sale (see below for details).

This beautiful home has 4 large bedrooms (2 en-suite), 3.5 baths and hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen has stunning ravine views with a Viking Range (6 burner with griddle), Sub-Zero refrigerator with custom paneling, new Bosch dishwasher, new LG washer and dryer, and custom cabinets.

In 2018, the floors were sanded and refinished. In 2018, the kitchen cabinets were painted. In 2000, all hardwood floors, electrical, plumbing, doors (custom internal and external) and windows (Pella Architect Series) were replaced. At the same time, the following were added: a new roof structure and shingles, a three story addition (15 X 15 master bedroom, dining room below it and basement below the dining room), a new kitchen, a new master bath, a new stucco exterior and a second heating and A/C unit. The master suite bath has a double sink, clawfoot tub, oversized shower, English subway tile with 52 inch wainscoting, and French travertine floor. The large 2nd bedroom also has an en-suite bath.

Gorgeous perennial garden with two apple trees, three espalier pear trees and a private stone patio.

For those not from Lake Bluff, the road behind the house, Sylvan Road, is probably the most beautiful street in Lake Bluff. It is the only street where one can walk alongside a ravine with uninterrupted views of the ravine. Additionally, the portion of the ravine behind the house is a park with paths and bridges crossing the creek. Further east down the ravine are two bridges that cross the entire ravine. The views along this walk are breathtaking and we always enjoy how the ravine changes with the seasons. Seeing the ravine from the comfort of the kitchen after a wet, heavy snow, with every branch lined with snow is truly spectacular.

Besides being a great place for walks, having the road between the house and the ravine means that the city pays for any required ravine maintenance behind the house. This means that you get to enjoy the beauty of having a property on the ravine but don't have to incur the typical expenses associated with ravine maintenance. A little known fact about living on ravines is that each homeowner is responsible for any maintenance required to prevent the ravine from eroding away the usable property over time. This can get expensive. We have had friends on other ravines tell of having to spend significant sums (> $100,000) in order to keep the ravine wall secure so that they don't lose usable property to natural ravine erosion.

While there are 19 lots on Sylvan Road along the ravine that have the above benefits, there are only 11 lots on this section of Sylvan Road that front on East Sheridan Place and run all the way through to Sylvan road. Out of these 11 lots, only 7 have the backyard facing the ravine. None of the other 6 lots are for sale at this time. The benefits to these 7 lots are: the lot length provides for a larger yard area behind the house, the backyard area faces the ravine, the larger area allows for more sun in the backyard (many houses on ravines are always in the shade), it removes the garage from the front of the house and it enables great ravine views from the two ensuite bedrooms, dining room and kitchen. For the houses that are on Sylvan Road only, the kitchen and other living areas typically face the house behind them, not the ravine.
222 E Sheridan Pl, Lake Bluff, IL 60044 is a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 2,944 sqft single-family home built in 1912. It last sold for $950,000 on Oct 15, 2020. This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia. The Trulia Estimate is $1,561,800, with a rent estimate of $6,633/month.

    "I know my neighbors by name and we often gather for conversations and have group get togethers. It is on a private road, so all the neighbors take care of plowing, road maintenance. We also communicate through a private social media site. Everyone is very friendly. It is an unincorporated area which present challenges, but we present a solid front when working with the county."
