Property Description
The possibilities are endless with this 3.25 acre property, down a winding drive you arrive at a storybook stone cottage, originally built in the early 1930s by Bannockburn's founder William Aitken who was an architect and builder credited with bringing modern real estate development to the Village. This cottage has been lovingly restored to it's original charm over the last several years with new windows, refinished original hardwood floors, updated kitchen and baths and restored sun room and greenhouse. The property also includes a 2 car garage with attached coach house - which has a charming, cozy bonus room with bar, a kitchen, full bath, and bedroom upstairs. Located in the desirable Bannockburn School District, this beautiful property is surrounded by a variety of specimen trees, mature perennial plantings, and a flagstone-lined 0.15 acre pond - all of which date back to the original Aitken Estate. This peaceful property offers space and quiet which are hard to find in the suburbs, yet just minutes from all Deerfield, Highland Park and Lake Forest have to offer. The main level of the cottage has a clean white kitchen, dining room, living room with a large wood-burning fireplace, laundry/exercise room, sunrooms and greenhouse, and a spacious 1st floor master bedroom with full bath. The 2nd level includes two more bedrooms, walk-in closets, and a full bath. The rest of the property includes the pond and open land for a future dream home, a pool or tennis/pickleball court - the possibilities are endless! Minutes to shops, award winning schools, parks, restaurants, public transportation, neighboring communities, and major commuter routes.
