About this home
Single Family · Built 1900 · Historic
UNIQUE VINTAGE RENTAL, EAST LAKE BLUFF! Whether you are looking for a wonderful Executive Rental or looking for a "Weekend Getaway" rental near the lake, this home solves both quests! It's got your "Big Chill" house vibes going on, set on an incredible 1/2-acre property across the street from a ravine and only a 2-block walk to Sunrise Beach. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 fireplaces, gorgeous Great Room, plus Family Room. Turn of the Century charm galore, in easy walking distance to everything that makes the vibrant Village of Lake Bluff such a favorite. Minimum 1 year lease or (prefer) longer. One car detached garage, with extra outdoor parking area. This is a rare opportunity! Pets are possible, at the owner's discretion, with a non-refundable pet deposit or pet rent. Home was thoroughly "refreshed" for the owner by a local contractor in 2025 -- newly painted, floors refinished, updates and upgrades added -- yet the vintage elements and charm remain!
