Built in 1930

Built in 1930 and designed by noted architect Phillip Brooks Maher, this in town beauty is brimming with possibilities. Sitting on over three-quarters of an acre in a premier location, just steps from Lake Michigan, this classic home has been loved by the same family for over 40 years. The gracious, light filled foyer welcomes you in and allows for easy access to all 1st floor rooms. Highlights of the grand living room include fireplace, large bay window area looking out on the professionally manicured grounds as well as access to the charming sunporch. The handsome library, inviting dining room, powder room and expansive all white kitchen with high end appliances and breakfast room complete the 1st floor. An elegant and sweeping staircase with dramatic window leads to the 2nd floor where you will find the lovely primary suite with private bath and dressing area. There are four additional bedrooms, one with a fireplace, and an office and laundry room to complete this level. There is a walk-up attic that could be renovated for additional living space, basement for storage needs, and an attached 2 car and detached 1 car garage. Beautiful grounds in a sought after East Lake Forest location combine to make this a special opportunity!
