Located just one block from downtown and steps from Lake Michigan, this classic red brick Georgian home sits in a premier East Highland Park location. Featuring 6 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and elegant vintage details, including crown moldings, hardwood floors, and decorative millwork, this residence blends timeless charm with modern updates. The first floor welcomes you with a recently renovated vestibule leading into a gracious foyer. A spacious living room, perfect for entertaining, flows into a cozy library/sunroom - ideal for a home office or additional seating. The large dining room, with French doors opening to a screened-in porch, is perfect for hosting family and friends. The eat-in kitchen boasts wood cabinetry, Corian and granite countertops, a generous island, a butler's pantry, and French doors leading to an expansive bluestone patio and backyard. Upstairs, the primary suite features a marble clad fireplace, two closets and a marble bathroom with double vanity, steam shower and soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms (one currently used as an office) share a hall bath. The handsome wood-paneled office with built-ins opens to a second-floor balcony overlooking the property. The finished third floor offers a spacious family room that makes a perfect kids' hangout space, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a large, organized storage closet with custom built-ins. The spacious unfinished basement provides laundry and ample storage space. Outside, the professionally landscaped, fully fenced backyard is anchored by a generous-sized bluestone patio, ideal for outdoor living. The home includes a 2-car garage plus an additional detached 2-car garage accessible from rear alley. Updates include newer windows and mechanicals plus a newer Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. A quintessential East Highland Park beauty.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
