2655 Sheridan Road, tucked away east of Sheridan on a private wooded lot next to Lighthouse Beach, was originally the carriage house to a larger estate designed by Daniel Burnham. The family of the current owners bought the carriage house in 1965 and restored it following its original design and layout. The entrance is the original arch of the carriage house and the original windows, beamed ceilings, and historic details have been preserved while the home was updated for modern living. 2655 Sheridan is a spacious home with abundant light and offers an open layout and flexible living space on the first floor (including laundry and a full bath) and on the second floor 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a spacious open area for additional bedroom, playroom, office space, and/or gym. The kitchen and all baths have been updated, there is a 2 car garage, and the home could easily accommodate a main floor bedroom attached to the existing full bath. Recent property improvements include full kitchen renovation (2012), new hot water heater (2012), new a/c unit (2012), new tear-off roof over the house and the garage (2011). No basement. The rich historic detail of the home can be found under "Additional Information" along with floor plans and an old survey of the property. This is a special opportunity to live in a charming light-filled home, with a modern open layout, in an amazing private location with the park, beach and Lighthouse in your backyard!
