Property Description
This totally unique home, remodeled by Tony Grunsfeld, is set in the most breathtaking ravine setting and while it is totally private, it is within walking distance of Downtown Highland Park and the train. What could be better? The brick patio with lovely stone walls wraps around the entire back of the house and affords one breathtaking views of the gardens and the ravine. This home is the most perfect jewel and offers 2 Bedroom Suites, one on the main floor and one on the second floor. The entertaining areas of the house are spacious and sunny due to the abundant use of glass which brings spectacular views of the outdoors into the interior. The floor plan creates a thoughtful flow between the Dining Room, Living Room and Den. The Living Room has a full wall of windows, wood floors and a beamed ceiling. It shares a handsome two sided fireplace with the adjacent Den. The Den also features a wall of windows and another wall of built-ins that allow for tremendous storage. Also, in the Den is a wet bar with sink and refrigerator for your casual entertaining. The Dining Room is spacious and perfect for large groups.

It was remodeled by Dick Nanberg and features granite counters, custom cabinetry with pull out shelving and undermount lighting, a built in serving area, wood floors and a beautiful picture window overlooking the garden. Wonderful storage is provided with a butler's pantry, broom closet and silver closet. High end stainless steel appliances have been meticulously maintained along with everything else in this home!
