Highland Park has a reputation for being the height of luxury, with tree-lined streets and gorgeous houses, but it is not known for its lot sizes. This pristine home on a coveted Highland Park block offers you the chance to live on a rare, luscious 80-foot by 161-foot lot. With more land comes more possibilities, so let your imagination run wild as you take in this elegant off-market listing.
Mature trees frame the enchanting white brick façade beautifully; a painter couldn’t have dreamed up a better picture. Boxwoods surround the darling front patio, where you can relax and read a book or set down beverages for guests to pick up as they arrive at your chic parties.
Built in 1938 but taken down to the studs in 2009, this 4,690-square-foot beauty holds traditional charm while offering modern luxury and plenty of perks for entertaining. The impeccable great room with its lavish high ceilings was made for gathering with friends and family. During the holidays, everyone will love sitting by the fireplace to open presents and drink hot cocoa, but in the summertime, the outdoor living spaces will be the star.
After you whip up some sparkling sangria at the new wet bar, whisk everyone out to the fun backyard where a fireplace, atmospheric lighting, and sophisticated lounge areas await. Caterers can bring out delicious hors d’oeuvres and prepare entrees in your huge gourmet kitchen as you kick back and mingle. Take in the views of your delightful lily pond, sprawling lawn, and recently renovated 610-square-foot guesthouse sitting atop the four-car garage. Perfect for hosting loved ones or for housing kids who have flown back to their empty nest, this two-bedroom, one-bath New Orleans-style spread is a feature that will come in handy often.
Inside the stylish main house, there are 4 bedrooms and 3.1 bathrooms, including a spectacular master suite. Designed to pamper you, it boasts a blissful master bath and a walk-in closet with mirrored doors. Every time you leave the house, you can rest assured that you look fabulous since eight to ten mirrors cant lie.
