Lovely vintage home with fabulous original architectural details, contemporary updates, and sophisticated artistic touches, surrounded by mature trees and a flower-filled yard near town, train, and the lake in unbeatable east Highland Park. Gracious large rooms include the welcoming foyer with arched doorways, living room with fireplace and built-ins, entertainment-worthy dining room, and window-filled family room. Continuous updates have transformed the kitchen and butler's pantry into warm modern spaces with granite counters, stainless appliances, and cherry wood cabinets. The primary bath was completely renovated with a steam shower, travertine, and Mexican-tile accents. Four bedrooms and two full baths upstairs; the finished basement adds an expansive rec room, work/craft space, laundr y, and a huge crawl for storage. Hardwood floors throughout. Wonderfully serene patio and outdoor space. Attached 2-car garage. Major infrastructure improvements include a new boiler in 2024, new roof in 2023, new Space Pac central air in 2022, a new hot water heater in 2019, and an electrical upgrade to 200 amps in 2011.
