Charming lakeside cottage with timeless character and endless potential nestled on a secluded, tree lined lot with views of the pristine waters of private Highland Lake. Designed by renowned architect William Hooper and once featured in Home & Garden magazine, this residence blends custom craftsmanship with unmatched serenity. Inside you'll find expansive windows offering lake views, while the mature trees surrounding the property provide privacy and a sense of calm that's hard to find. Whether you're sipping coffee on the front patio, stargazing from the lawn, or enjoying your yard from the three seasons room, this location feels like an oasis. While the home awaits TLC and is being sold "AS-IS", its potential is undeniable. A newer heated and oversized 3-car garage with a spacious loft above adds incredible versatility-ideal for a studio, workshop, or home office. Members only beach just a block away provides for swimming, picnicking, and storage of your kayaks and non-motorized boats. The lake is stocked twice a year providing excellent fishing. A haven that feels worlds away, yet is just minutes from Metra, downtown Grayslake, Renwood Golf Course, Gurnee Mills, and much more! This is an opportunity to reimagine a historic gem into the lakeside retreat that you call home.

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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