About this home
Designed by noted architect John Van Bergen, this architecturally significant East Highland Park residence offers the rare combination of historic character, thoughtful design, and highly desirable one-level living. Set on a large corner lot with mature trees and native plants, the home feels like a private retreat just blocks from Rosewood Beach and an easy walk to downtown Ravinia, Highland Park, the Metra, restaurants, and the legendary Ravinia Festival. Inside, vaulted ceilings, rich original woodwork, abundant natural light, and a striking stone fireplace create warmth and architectural soul that's increasingly hard to find. The sun-drenched living spaces frame peaceful views of the surrounding yard, blending indoors and out in true Prairie-inspired fashion. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and stainless appliances, while the generously sized primary bedroom offers flexibility and could potentially be reconfigured to restore a third bedroom if desired. The finished lower level adds valuable space with a recreation area and flex work space, while the newly added stone walkway and rear fenced garden areas create an inviting outdoor setting, complete with a permanent wood-burning sauna just steps from the rear entrance for year-round enjoyment. A rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Highland Park architecture in one of the North Shore's most walkable and beloved lakefront neighborhoods....
