Secluded Highland Park Hideaway With Ravine Views For Under $1.2M

HIGHLAND PARK, IL — This unique neo-Tudor sits tucked away off of Sheridan Road combines privacy with a convenient location in south Highland Park. Built in 1930, it was designed by architect William B. Betts, who also created the Des Plaines and Glen Art theaters. The 4,500-square-foot two-story home includes six bedrooms on a 0.37 acre wooded lot.

Though it's been restored and upgraded, it has maintained "tons of character" and kept its original herringbone hardwood floors, horsehair plaster and original sculpted woodwork, according to its listing.

The elevated wooden deck offers the chance to feel connected to the natural world – such as passing deer – while remaining within walking distance to the lake, the train, Ravinia, the Chicago Botanical Gardens or Braeside Elementary.

Meanwhile, the lower level is also fully finished and features a large, open recreation room. The attached garage has room for one car, there's a single wood burning fireplace and there are two upstairs laundry rooms. Plus, there's a fully functional greenhouse.

Local school districts include Braeside Elementary School, Edgewood Middle School and Highland Park High School.
