With every brush stroke, this homeowner painted a masterpiece and turned his house into a home; a home full of rich and vibrant colors depicting the warmth and love with which the homeowner spent decades of care, curating fond memories that would leave a lasting and indelible impression. Situated on nearly half an acre, this majestic, three-story, New England-style English Colonial spans over 4,100 square feet. The original owner, enamored with the English Colonial style, hired an architect to travel to New England, where he meticulously copied every detail of the design, ensuring an authentic, custom-built home that stands as a testament to timeless elegance. Quietly tucked away in East Highland Park, the home is just minutes from Lake Michigan, beaches, parks, Ravinia's business district, and downtown Highland Park. The home's unique architectural features immediately draw you in, beginning with a lovely front entry that leads to a gracious foyer with original hardwood floors, ornate molding, and door frames. Your inner chef will delight in the remodeled kitchen, featuring beautiful stone countertops, high-end appliances, and ample space for either a table or an island. Adjacent is a quaint dining area with original wood paneling and built-ins, exuding warmth and charm. The separate formal dining room is spacious enough to host all your guests and includes a linen closet for storing your best tableware. Relax in the living room, gathered around the original wood-burning fireplace with its decorative mantle, or curl up with a good book in the library, which is filled with built-in bookshelves to house all your literary treasures. Start your day with a cup of coffee or tea in the enclosed 4-season room, which overlooks the lush backyard-reading the paper or solving a puzzle in this tranquil setting will quickly become your favorite routine. Additionally, there's a charming, cottage with it's own HVAC that the seller used as an art studio. Imagine transforming it into extra living space for family or guests, a luxurious gym, yoga or martial arts studio, or even an additional office or storage. Now, it's your turn to add your creative vision to this masterpiece. Bring your measuring tape and decorating ideas to unlock the endless possibilities of this truly remarkable home. Sold As-Is.
