Step into a truly unique home that blends timeless character with modern sophistication. Designed by, celebrated Chicago architect Jerry Horn, this reimagined modern farmhouse offers the perfect fusion of form and function located just a block from the heart of downtown Lake Bluff and train station. From the moment you arrive, the classic exterior and wrap-around front porch offer instant curb appeal. But inside, a complete redesign opened the floor plan to create an airy, free-flowing layout ideal for today's lifestyle. The main level is bathed in natural light, featuring 10-foot ceilings, expansive windows, and multiple access points to the wrap-around porch and backyard deck. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this space adapts beautifully. The sleek, award-worthy Bulthaup kitchen offers a striking centerpiece with its large island, clean lines, and minimalist elegance. The adjacent family room features custom built-ins, a wall of windows, and an oversized slider leading to the outdoor oasis perfect for entertaining year-round. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is your private retreat with vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a spa-inspired bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath round out the second level. The studio off the two-car garage is ready to become your art room, office or gym.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
