Property Description

HGTV designer Leanne Ford loves white because it acts as a calming reset for the mind and provides a versatile, blank canvas. While interior design trends are constantly changing, one style that never goes out of fashion is the timeless all-white interior. Welcome to this beautiful all-white retreat at 327 Marshman Avenue in Highland Park, Illinois. Located in the desirable eastern part of Highland Park, the home is less than a mile from Lake Michigan and the beautiful shores of Rosewood Beach, and approximately half a mile from the Ravinia Metra Station. One of the home's most exceptional features is its setting at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Situated on approximately 0.75 acres with a private driveway, the property offers outstanding privacy and tranquility. This peaceful sanctuary is surrounded by nature, where the only background sounds are rustling leaves and birdsong. A year-round creek runs along the slope of the backyard, creating a natural haven where dogs can roam freely and enjoy the outdoors. Every time you drive down the long private driveway, it feels as though you are entering a hidden forest retreat. The natural surroundings immediately create a sense of calm and renewal. This home has been deeply loved and thoughtfully improved by its current owner. Recent updates include a brand-new asphalt driveway, a premium natural cedar roof imported from Canada, two newly built oversized wooden garden beds, and a large stone patio featuring a beautiful stone fire pit. Natural boulders have been thoughtfully placed throughout the landscape to enhance the connection to nature, while mature trees surround the property and provide beauty throughout the seasons. Additional improvements include brand-new washer and dryer units, most windows replaced with double-pane windows and screens, and refreshed premium oak hardwood flooring finished in white throughout the home. The interior and exterior were professionally painted approximately six months ago using Benjamin Moore paint. A large commercial-grade steam boiler efficiently warms the home during the winter months. Living here offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle in harmony with nature while remaining a short distance to Highland Park's beaches, parks, and transportation. After all, buying a home is not simply purchasing a building-it is choosing a location, a lifestyle, and a place to call your own.
