This beloved renovated cottage has it all with an oversized fenced .21 acre corner lot and a prime East Lake Bluff location just 8 houses from the lake.

Additional first floor improvements include new pantry cabinetry, powder bathroom, built-ins, and new hardwood flooring throughout the first floor. On the second floor a new, larger hall bathroom is being installed. The basement is getting a refreshed laundry room as well. Previously renovated by Lynch Construction in 2000, this vintage gem keeps getting better. Vliet Museum Distinguished Home Award winner for architectural preservation.
