    3% Buyer's Agent Commission Offered. Previously featured in the Highland Park Historical Society home tours, this solid brick 18th century Victorian has great appeal with its stenciled wood floors and high ceilings. Yet, the location is what it's really all about. Walk easily to schools, restaurants, library, beach, playground, art center, ballet school, shopping and movies, all within 5 short blocks or less. Arrive home from the Highland Park Metra station after a 7 minute, 3 block walk. Catch sight of Lake Michigan as you come up the sidewalk and turn in the drive. Enjoy summer parties or a quiet afternoon reading the paper on the large front porch.

    This home is not landmarked and received a complete renovation in the mid-1990s, striking the perfect balance between modern conveniences and architecturally appropriate luxury finishes. The renovation included all new copper plumbing and electrical wiring. The bathrooms spared no expense with intricate marblework and Kohler fixtures. The master suite has double sinks and a whirlpool tub. The kitchen features cherry cabinets, a granite countertop and a gorgeous 24-inch tin ceiling. Adjacent to the kitchen, a family room with a wood-burning fireplace provides a place to play and relax. The living room fireplace has been converted to gas for an elegant evening on call. Some great features of this house have been here from the beginning -- the bedrooms are tall and light with very large closets. The 1200 square foot basement provides plenty of additional storage space.

    Since 2005: The attic has been completely renovated to add a home office/media room with a 9ft motorized screen and LCD projector, wired in-wall from an AV closet for 7.1 surround sound with 4 in-wall rear speakers. A new granite and cherry wet bar contains a wine refrigerator and a beverage/icemaker refrigerator. The attic bathroom has been fully remodeled with Porcher fixtures and a marble shower. Thirty-five new Marvin windows replaced all of the original windows in 2007. The kitchen has been updated with GE Profile stainless steel appliances. A highly efficient tankless gas-fired water heater provides limitless hot water on demand. A 6ft cedar privacy fence new in 2007 creates a secure play area for children or pets. A natural gas line fires up the grill just outside the back door. New GE Profile front-loading laundry machines were added in summer 2009.
