About this home
The wait for a special LAKE BLUFF home is finally over! Exceptional MID CENTURY MODERN home with high-end finishes define this fully renovated home in the sought-after East Terrace neighborhood. Authentic MCM pops of color welcome you to the sun-drenched East facing foyer. As you enter the redesigned (3 bed/3.1 bath) heart of the home, the living room and dining room with a gas fireplace and exposed beam ceiling opens to the stunning gourmet kitchen (4-foot Galley sink system, In-line Wolf coffee maker, Sub-Zero / Bosch / Wolf appliances, workstation and radiant heat). This open floor plan features soaring vaulted ceilings, modern finishes, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, and skylights that flood the space with natural light. The fully expanded mudroom leads to the attached 2 car garage or to the private, fenced, backyard with 2 raised garden beds and a new concrete patio. The striking glass stair railing ushers you to the next level with two bedrooms and two fully renovated full bathrooms as well as a flexible space that has been used as an ideal office, gym, and playroom. Perched among the trees on the top floor, the primary suite is a true retreat boasting a walk-in closet, double vanity bathroom with separate tub and walk in shower, charming Juliet balcony, sitting room/den with gas fireplace, and generously sized bedroom set behind French doors. Designed for both everyday living and additional entertaining space, the lower level features a fabulous family room with bar and serving area, renovated powder bathroom, and a large laundry room with side by side workhorse machines and sink. The backyard is professionally landscaped with mature trees and serves as a perfect spot for relaxing, a summer BBQ, gardening or gathering with guests. Energy-efficient and mechanical features include commercial-grade ceiling insulation, Cat 5/hardwired for internet wiring, buried electrical service, wired speakers, and newer water and sewer connections. Additional highlights include NEW 2026 AC, generous storage throughout, French drains, concrete floor crawl space, and exceptional attention to detail at every turn.
