Property Description

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to complete a beautiful home in Villa Turicum utilizing fabulous construction drawings by Melichar Architects! This lovely Georgian home is located on 0.94 acres east of Sheridan Road, just blocks from Lake Michigan and features an impressive two-story foyer with a lovely staircase, a wonderful floor plan, 4 wood-burning fireplaces, a 3-car garage, and a private, fenced backyard. Additional features include spacious rooms, a proposed kitchen that overlooks the backyard, a huge first floor guest suite/optional first floor primary suite, and 4 bedrooms on the second floor with hardwood floors that includes a sizable Primary Suite with fireplace ready to customize to fit your needs. Most interior millwork, finishes, flooring and cabinetry have been removed. The kitchen and most baths have been demoed. The previous owners built a 3-story addition from 1999-2001. It includes a first-floor suite with a bedroom, two full bathrooms (one with a jetted tub and the other with a shower), a huge walk-in closet, wet bar, sitting room, and 2nd floor office or playroom. The bright sitting room has vaulted ceilings, skylights, windows, and a glass sliding door that opens to the patio and backyard. On the 2nd floor of this newer area, a huge storage space connects with bedroom 4 on the original 2nd floor. The lower level was expanded during this renovation to include an English basement (north and east windows are above grade), a large recreation room with a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom with jetted tub. All double-hung windows were replaced in 2018 by the previous owner with Renewal by Anderson windows. This is a perfect opportunity to finish designing your dream home in a wonderful neighborhood working with a top architect. One also has the ability to select their own finishes or use the finishes pre-selected by the architect. Choose your own contractor to complete this incredible home. The interior of the home has been partially demoed. Kitchen and half of the bathrooms have been demoed. The home is being sold "As Is."
