About this home

This magnificent 3-story masonry and brick home was built in 1911 by Thomas B. Carson. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is situated on a deep lot set back from Sheridan Road and across from the Grosse Point Lighthouse and its stunning beaches. A sprawling front lawn precedes the home with a beautiful side yard. The generous back yard with its mature trees, bluestone paver walkways, and seating areas is a true garden oasis offering privacy and tranquility. The entrance welcomes you with a stunningFrank-Lloyd Wright inspired staircase. Throughout the home are beautiful hardwood floors, and original mill-work, two wood-burningfireplaces and not one, but three sunrooms to bring views of the outdoors in, year-round. The top floor sunroom located off the primary bedroom offers the perfect view of the lighthouse and the lake. On the main floor, find two sunrooms, a traditional dining room with built-in china displays, and an eat-in kitchen overlooking the backyard. In the living room is a reading area with bookshelves, a wood-burning fireplace, and views out every window. The 2nd floor features a massive primary bedroom with fireplace and adjacent sunroom facing the lake plus two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The 3rd floor features two more generous bedrooms, full bath and 5 storage rooms. The basement offers tremendous storage, a fully equipped laundry room with double sink. This home has been beautifully cared for by the longtime homeowners. Public schools include Haven Middle School, Orrington Elementary and Evanston Township High School. Downtown shopping district has small shops, Starbucks, Foodstuffs catering and specialty grocer, Vinissimo and Lush Wine shops, popular Bluestone restaurant, Leonida's Cafe, Ten Mile House and more.
