The current owners have completed a stunning renovation of this historic home in East Lake Forest, just one block from Lake Michigan. Meticulously updated top to bottom with the highest level of finishes. The charming exterior with fabulous curb appeal welcomes you through a glass surround entry. As you enter the home you will notice tall ceilings, the original wide staircase, period details, and a fabulous floor plan. A large living room with rich moldings, fireplace, and French doors to a bluestone patio overlook the landscaped rear yard. The gourmet kitchen features all of the bells and whistles including Carrera marble counters, backsplash, La Cornue range, dual Miele dishwashers, hammered nickel bar sink, paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator & freezer, beverage cooler and it is open to a sunny breakfast room. The large, family room with fireplace has a wet bar and beverage cooler, and a wall of built-ins for your library. The first floor also includes two powder rooms and a laundry room. All four bedrooms on the second level feature en-suite bathrooms and have been updated with marble vanities and custom tile work - professionally designed to compliment the original design of this vintage style home. The primary bedroom is private overlooking the rear yard with tons of natural light and includes a gas starter fireplace and walk-in closet. The primary bathroom enjoys a marble Victoria double vintage sink with Carrara marble, mosaic tile, heated floors, soaking tub, and large walk-in shower. The extensive home renovation was completed in 2010, with new roof in 2018, and new air conditioner in 2019. The deep, corner lot is beautifully landscaped and features a beautiful bluestone patio and walkways, new driveway, and invisible dog fence. This is a stunning home in an outstanding location that has been meticulously updated and maintained inside and out.
