Are you looking for a GEM of a renovation project? Look no further than this "Enchanted Artist's Cottage", set in the woods along Green Bay Road in the heart of Lake Forest! With an Architectural Pedigree and the Soul of an Artist, this "Tiny House" exudes spirit and personality! Enjoy it in its current size, or transform it to suit your lifestyle! Built in 1939 by Henry Tideman, an architect who once officed with David Adler and Robert Work, Mr. Tideman built the home for himself and his family. A noted Chicago architect, Mr. Tideman was past president of the Henry George School of Social Science, founded by his father; past president of the Deerpath Art League; and held many architectural awards and honors. His wife, Jean Tideman, is a local artist and designer; some of her art is displayed in the home. Truly tiny, at 1,436 square feet, the home has 3 rooms and a full bath per floor; there is an attached 1 car garage, with a small attic above. The half acre lot is lovely, wooded, and still has the original vision and fencing from a 1959-era landscape plan. Sold "As Is", in an estate; a quick closing is possible. What vision will you bring to its next chapter? Note: THE PANDEMIC ADVISORY FORM FOUND IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MUST BE SIGNED BY ALL PARTIES, thank you.
