Hidden gem located in the heart of East Lake Bluff! Situated on nearly an acre of land at the south end of Foss Court. Originally built in 1896, the home has been expanded and updated several times over the years and the current owners have been meticulous to make improvements in keeping with the intended style of the home. Soon after the home was built, the Marshall Field Company used it as a retreat house for employees of their Chicago store. The lot originally extended all the way from Vincent Court to Moffett Road and was part of an 80 acre tract of land. Foss Court was originally the driveway to the property. The huge, circular brick paver driveway was installed by Krugel Cobbles and provides a wonderful entrance to the majestic grounds. Bespoke, hand painted murals adorn the living room walls. The living room includes one of the three fireplaces in the home and opens to a screened porch overlooking a sunken English garden. All landscaping on the property was professionally designed and installed, providing privacy. The original porch on the east end of the home was removed and replaced with a beautiful library and includes custom built-in bookcases and shelving, and wood burning fireplace. The kitchen was completely updated and renovated by James LaDuke and Associates and they have maintained and improved both the structure and all mechanical systems. A comfortable den is adjacent to the kitchen and features custom built-in cabinetry. Also, a raised back patio is just off the kitchen and is ideal for al fresco dining. The dining room features a gas log fireplace and "invisible" built-in door for storage. The second level has two open porches overlooking the front yard of the home. Another unique feature is a four car garage, which has been updated with epoxy flooring, shelving, and is heated.
