Step into history reimagined. This beautifully renovated and expanded residence in the heart of the historic Fort Sheridan subdivision seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern amenities. Once a duplex home for lieutenant colonels, this distinguished property has been thoughtfully transformed into a spacious single-family home that honors its past while embracing the needs of today's lifestyle. From its original architectural details to the numerous updates throughout, every element has been curated to preserve the character and integrity of the home. The expansion offers generous living spaces, including the spectacular Great Room with seasonal views of Lake Michigan and the stunning adjacent ravine. The kitchen has been updated with beautiful custom cabinetry, top of the line appliances, spacious eating area and breakfast bar. A two story light filled sunroom looks out to the yard and ravine, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee.

The seamless indoor-outdoor flow is perfect for entertaining or everyday living. Upstairs you will find the large, private primary suite with dressing room/closet and spa bath. There is also the added bonus of a 2nd floor laundry room. Three additional bedrooms, full bath and a great office/den space complete the 2nd level. An extra deep basement was created with the addition and provides the perfect recreation space. Two additional bedrooms and two full baths, as well as another laundry space and ample storage space are located here as well.

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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