Timeless. Gracious. Private. A stately, French Normandy-style home in sought after East Highland Park? Say no more. 143 Cary Avenue, originally designed and built by award-winning architect Garret Eakin in 2003, is a stunning single-owner abode that boasts six bedrooms and 7.2 bathrooms- and polished architectural details from every angle. Perfectly positioned just above the tree line, overlooking the ravine on almost 1.5 acres, a long circular driveway and meticulous landscaping make for a flawless first impression. Inside, a tranquil-yet-elegant tone is set right away in the foyer, a feeling that continues across the almost 10,000 square feet of first-class interior living spaces. Upon entering, take in the views through the great room's floor-to-ceiling windows that reveal a prettily appointed terrace and, beyond, a bluestone patio with year-round infinity hot tub and ardent private grounds. From the impressive first floor master suite and chef's kitchen to the luxe library and wine cellar, this one-of-a-kind home is immersed in provincial splendor. As for lifestyle pursuits outside of the home, 143 Cary Avenue is located just a short walk from Rosewood Beach and Ravinia. It's also within walking/biking proximity of the Chicago Botanic Garden and downtown Highland Park for shopping and fine dining.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
