About this home

Built in 1893 and designed by Holabird & Roche, Building 90 was a 2-family officers' quarters. When the Town of Fort Sheridan's historic buildings were offered for sale to the public, this building was magically transformed into a tremendously charming, gracious single family home with so many state-of -the-art features and beautiful architectural details, both old and new. If you love cooking and entertaining (or even if you just love fabulous kitchens!) , come see this! Commercial style Viking Pro 8 burner range w/ Thermador hood. Stainless steel countertops and just the right ambience! HW floors throughout. Surprising, open spaces w/ vaulted ceilings and a wonderful loft for hobbies and play. 3,000 sq ft of quality, usable space. Full bsmt for utilities and storage. Urban chic outdoor spaces and a sophisticated rooftop party place over the large 2 car gar. Midwest Young Artists with summer concerts. 1 block to Highwood gourmet food and fairs. Fort amenities outside your door.
