NOTE

Full description and photos appear below.

1. The house is absolutely beautiful, perfect move-in condition!
2. We are selling on Craigslist, by owner, to reduce the asking price by getting rid of the agent’s commission. Agents do not call.
3. We are moving because my new job requires me to commute, by car, to the far southside of the city. I am spending four hours a day in my car.
4. If you want a charming, 3,000 sq. ft. house in East Lake Bluff with four large bedrooms, 3 full baths, huge family room and state of the art kitchen for under $800,000.00 then this is your only option.
5. If you look at all other properties in East Lake Bluff under $800,000.00 then you will see that this is an amazing value and is properly priced for the current market. I believe it is under priced, but we figure we can make up what we lose on this
Sale by purchasing a similar value in our new neighborhood.
6. We want to close this summer so that our kids have some time to get acclimated to their new neighborhood before the next school year.
7. Please look closely at the room dimensions, they are huge!
8. Check out Zillow.com for up to date market values of houses.
9. There is no substitute for a quick walk through a house if you are serious. This house is not a drive by. We don’t mind showing it at almost anytime, if you might be interested. Week days are no problem at all. Take a five minute look inside and you will fall in love with this meticulously maintained house. Fourteen years ago, when we bought it, we almost decided to skip it and not go in because it looked too small. Needless to say, we did go in, and purchased it that same day.












This home is much larger than it appears! A true "walk to everything" location:
1 block to schools
2 blocks to town center
2 ½ blocks to Northwestern commuter rail station
4 blocks to Lake Michigan beach
1 block to Artesian Park, w/ baseball, ice skating, tennis, etc.
2 blocks to bicycle/jogging path
8 blocks to village swimming pool, golf course, fitness club
Ravine Park across the street

Move in Condition. Home has unique easy flowing floor plan and huge room sizes. Also includes: finished basement, deck, heated garage, Jacuzzi and separate shower in master bath, hardwood floors throughout 1st and 2nd floors, fireplace in living room, and first floor laundry room. Basement is finished. Kitchen is brand new!
Perfect for family who wants large, well maintained quality home in east Lake Bluff at an affordable price. The exterior of the home is deceptive, home is actually very large, please make an appointment for showing.
