    What's special

    Fresh new listing in East Lake Bluff. 2 blocks to beach and 3 blocks to town, the ideal location! This 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath Nantucket-style home has been taken down to the studs. The current owner has meticulously improved, preserved and modernized the home to suit today's lifestyle. Light and bright with open concept, and freshly painted with current neutral colors. Hardwood floors, custom millwork, and high ceilings throughout. Numerous, tall windows bring abundant natural light into the living spaces. The extensive list of recent improvements both inside and out includes a full kitchen renovation in 2015 with large center island and keeping room, complete bath renovations and new central air. The front sunroom is the showstopper with welcoming living and dining areas. 1st-floor laundry, finished lower level with 5th bedroom/full bath, newer 2-car garage, professional landscaping with flagstone walkways and underground sprinkler system. This spectacular home is truly one of a kind.
