This turreted cottage _ with its old-world charm _ sits on a wide lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Open living spaces with generous ceiling height, hardwood floors, a beautiful wood-burning fireplace and walls of windows with lush private views. First floor bedroom and bathroom. Loft with a second wood-burning fireplace. Private back yard. The home is located directly across the Chicago Botanic Garden and next to bike trails the run for tens of miles into a forest preserve. Walking distance to Braeside Metra, minutes from the highway, shopping and restaurants, and close to the Ravinia Festival. Highly-coveted Braeside elementary school. A section of the home, the first through the second floor needs renovation. The property is also offered as land. Rehabbers and builders, don't miss this opportunity!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
