Historic home with lake views and walkable shops & restaurants

Description

Beautiful architecture and modern conveniences! Our 1910 Prairie-style home offers 4 bedrooms (also suitable for office use--see floor plan), 2.5 baths, and a full basement family room. Stunning views of Lake Michigan in a tree-lined neighborhood with easy access to shops, transit, and the beach. The first floor has a living room with a log-burning fireplace, elegant dining room, eat-in kitchen, small family room, and 1/2 bath. Upstairs you'll find a primary bedroom with its own en-suite bath and 2nd floor laundry, 2-3 additional bedrooms (one with a secret back staircase!) and home office. The lower level has a fun family room. There is a beautifully designed back and side yard garden and outdoor gas grill for your enjoyment. Close to everything walking - one block from Lake Michigan and lakefront parks and beaches, a few blocks from Lincoln Elementary School (public), and easy distance from numerous restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and public transportation via the CTA "L" and Metra. Northwestern University is a short drive or accessible via a free shuttle at the end of the street. Fully furnished and appointed with top of the line appliances and furnishings. A home truly for all seasons - imagine winter nights by a roaring fire or summers with a short walk to a beautiful beach on Lake Michigan - and gorgeous sunrises over Lake Michigan in every season. I am a designer and professor at Northwestern University. We will be in San Francisco for three months while I am teaching winter term on the west coast.
