Leave your worries behind as you pull off East Lake Shore Drive, down your secluded lane and into the drive of your expansive, beautifully, landscaped lot. It's easy to relax here. You can tinker in your workshop, read a book by the cozy fireplace or cuddle with your loved ones in the massive family room. If you're an open-air enthusiast, you'll enjoy the 164 feet of shoreline with your private dock or a stroll down to Lincoln Memorial Gardens. Coming home never felt so inviting.
