Located a block from the lake, the stunning renovation of this 1933 gardener's cottage to a Van Doren Shaw estate was featured in Architectural Digest in 2014 and 2013. Perfection inside and out, the interior was renovated by world renowned interior designer Timothy Corrigan and the grounds were transformed by Scott Byron. It was one of seven properties chosen for the Chicago Botanic Garden's Gardens of Distinction.
