Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a raised deck directly off the kitchen, an open-air porch, expansive bluestone patio, and private hot tub, all surrounded by lush grounds. A 2.5-car garage completes the property. The location is equally exceptional, with convenient access to Lake Bluff's train station, charming downtown shops and restaurants, top-rated schools, parks, and the village's beautiful beach.

North Shore, located between Evanston and Lake Forest, is a residential and lakeside Chicago neighborhood with leafy ravines and a shoreline park system. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Metra stations and village centers along Green Bay Road, where independent cafes, bookstores, and small galleries line walkable blocks. Writers Theatre and the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts anchor the cultural calendar, while the Chicago Botanic Garden sets a seasonal rhythm just beyond the lakefront. Streets of brick Colonials, Tudors, and mid-century homes sit behind mature trees and stone walls. Lake Michigan beaches and the Green Bay Trail shape daily routines with long, linear outdoor corridors. Commuter rail and lakefront drives connect the area to downtown without changing its quiet, curated pace.
