This listing is NOT a foreclosure. Discover a rare gem on Central Ave-this stunning Victorian historic landmark sprawls over 4 picturesque acres, just steps from the pristine shores of Lake Michigan. This unique property, once called the Cornelius Field House, features a beautifully restored main house, a charming gardener's cottage, and a spacious coach house, each exuding timeless elegance and character. The main house boasts intricate architectural details, original woodwork, and modern amenities, making it perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. 4 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 baths have all been timelessly renovated. A true chef's kitchen complete with walk-in pantry and glass surround eat-in area is any entertainer's dream. The high ceilings and attention to detail throughout the home are breathtaking and accented by the wraparound porch that will leave you daydreaming. The property received the Historic Preservation Award Winner for Restoration by the Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Highland Park. The gardener's cottage offers a cozy retreat perfect for guest accommodations with one-bedroom, full bathroom, kitchenette and light drenched living room and loft. The coach house (once a barn then turned to an all boys' school called Sylvan Dells in the 1890s) presents endless possibilities with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Use for family, business or potential rental income. Enjoy the tranquility of expansive gardens, mature trees, and serene outdoor spaces, ideal for gatherings or quiet reflection. With close proximity to local parks, shops, beach and dining, this remarkable estate combines historic charm with modern convenience. Embrace the opportunity to own a piece of Highland Park history!
