🏠 🌳

Hidden gem located in the heart of East Lake Bluff! Situated on nearly an acre of land at the south end of Foss Court. Originally built in 1896, the home has been expanded and updated several times over the years and the current owners have been meticulous to make improvements in keeping with the intended style of the home. Soon after the home was built, the Marshall Field Company used it as a retreat house for employees of their Chicago store. The lot originally extended all the way from Vincent Court to Moffett Road and was part of an 80 acre tract of land. Foss Court was originally the driveway to the property. The huge, circular brick paver driveway was installed by Krugel Cobbles and provides a wonderful entrance to the majestic grounds.
