Unobstructed views of Lake Michigan set the tone for this beautifully restored circa 1890s residence at 552 Sunrise in Lake Bluff - an exceptional lakeside retreat and rare opportunity to own a true shoreline escape. Originally built between 1888 and 1902 and lovingly cared for by just three families, this remarkable home spans two parcels with 100 feet frontage facing the lake. A comprehensive renovation by the highly regarded Gobeler Company, with architectural design by Landmark Development, seamlessly blends timeless character with modern comfort, preserving the home's historic charm while thoughtfully updating it for today's lifestyle. Oversized windows and French doors flood the interiors with natural light and frame sweeping lake views throughout. The large yet cozy living room is anchored by a massive custom-built stone fireplace, creating a warm and charming focal point. A generous bay window with a window seat offers panoramic lake views, an ideal spot to relax and take in the ever-changing scenery. The chef's kitchen features high-end appliances, seperate breakfast room, and an inviting hearth room that opens to a charming front porch, perfect for enjoying morning light and lake breezes. The dining room, highlighted by a statement Aerin chandelier, is well-suited for both intimate gatherings and larger entertaining, with direct access to the rear deck and gardens. The upper level is thoughtfully arranged as a private primary retreat, offering stunning water views, custom built-ins, and a spa-inspired marble bath with a soaking tub, steam shower, and heated floors, along with an adjoining room currently used as a closet and laundry. Two additional bedrooms are equally inviting and share a beautifully renovated bathroom. Additional features include restored hardwood floors, integrated audio/visual systems, beautiful light fixtures, a custom-designed mudroom and powder room, and flexible guest spaces. A large basement provides ample storage. Outdoors, the Craig Bergmann designed grounds create a true lakeside oasis with seasonal gardens, layered plantings, stonework, and multiple outdoor living areas designed to capture the beauty of the lake. A rear deck, reclaimed brick driveway and walkways, and a two-car garage complete the property. Located less than one mile from the Lake Bluff train station and town center, this home offers both tranquility and convenience. This is more than a home - it's a rare blend of history, charm, and refined lakefront living, offering a truly unique opportunity to own a timeless lakeside retreat.
