Lake, US
Welcome to 223 Sylvan Road, a Vliet-distinguished property situated across the street from a ravine and near the shores of Lake Michigan. Steeped in history, the original structure was a barn housing horses that plowed the streets of Lake Bluff. The building was expanded and remodeled in the 1970's by the current, long-time owners, creating a charming home that functions for today's family. Featuring three bedrooms, plus a study that could easily be converted to a fourth bedroom, and two and a half bathrooms, the home sits on an oversized lot with enchanting grounds, beautiful gardens, and bluestone patio and brick paver walkways. The family room offers built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, and a bar closet. Enjoy all the natural light that pours into the living room, with access to the back patio. The timeless, classic white kitchen features stainless steel appliances, freshly painted cabinets, and eat-in area. The main bedroom overlooks the beautiful back yard. Enjoy two fireplaces, one in the living room and one in the main bedroom, for cozy living in the winter months. Lovely house for entertaining. Two-car detached garage and separate shed, provide additional storage space. The idyllic town of Lake Bluff offers many amenities, such as a downtown with shops and restaurants, active park district and recreation center, and access to lake and beach. You'll love the events throughout the year, including the July Fourth parade, weekly summer farmer's market, and so much more! Close to train station and school. A truly unique property!
