Exclusive Private Beach Access on Lake Michigan! Welcome to your classically beautiful red brick colonial residence, just steps from your own private neighborhood beach on Lake Michigan. This exquisite home offers an unparalleled lifestyle in the prestigious South Deere Park neighborhood.

The residence has undergone extensive updates while still offering opportunities to add your personal touch. The layout is designed for seamless flow, with natural sunlight streaming through brand-new windows that frame views of your lush, private yard. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a striking new front door leading into the elegant formal entryway. Refinished hardwood floors span the entire home, complemented by newly installed wood flooring on the second-floor landing and hallways. A beautifully updated black iron staircase railing enhances the aesthetic appeal. To your left, the expansive living/family room is bathed in natural light from oversized windows and anchored by a charming fireplace. This space seamlessly connects to a screened-in porch, extending your living area outdoors. The formal dining room, complete with original built-ins, flows naturally into the functional kitchen. The main level also includes a renovated guest powder room and an attached two-car garage featuring a modern garage door and system. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, including an oversized primary suite, a brand-new guest bathroom, and an additional full bathroom ready for your design vision. A pull-down staircase leads to the attic, offering ample storage or the potential for a third-floor expansion. The versatile lower level adds even more living space, perfect for a home office, gym, playroom, or an additional entertaining area. It also features a laundry area, abundant storage, and convenient staircase access to the garage. A long list of updates includes (2024) windows, lintels, doors, tuckpointing, and (2022) roof, furnace, modern lighting, can lighting, updated electrical outlets, and much more.
