105 Ronan Rd, Highwood

This beautiful historic residence, part of Building 62, serves as an outstanding example of residential adaptive reuse. Designed by renowned architects Holabird & Roche and built in the 1890's, Building 62 was originally designed as horse stables with a hipped roof and arched brick work over the windows. This building was beautifully transformed into sophisticated, contemporary living space that can meet the needs of couples and families, and it offers an excellent design for working from home. As you walk through the door of this gracious home, you are met by a stunning entry that draws your eyes upward to soaring 27-foot vaulted ceilings complete with original wood trusses that expand across the living and dining rooms. An abundance of natural light fills the home. A creative design allows the two rooms to have distinct separation while maintaining an open flow that provides for easy entertaining. Enjoy an intimate conversation around the fireplace in the living room then enjoy a meal in the adjoining dining room. The adjacent kitchen provides a large open space for guests and family to gather and mingle easily, and it features built in cabinets to store all your entertaining gear! Enjoy your morning cup of coffee in the breakfast area overlooking the private courtyard which provides the informal eating area kitchen with an abundance of natural light. Next to the kitchen is a large family room, perfect for entertaining and relaxing with family and friends. The bedrooms are located on the opposite end of the home, away from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen and family room. Relax and unwind in your primary suite. The ensuite bath features a soaking tub, a separate glass shower and two vanities. There is also an additional bedroom and a separate office, which can easily be converted into a third bedroom. Practical as well as gracious, this home features a bonus room on the second floor that can serve many functions such as a playroom for the children, workout room, office, or crafting room. 105 Ronan Road will offer you a beautiful indoor space to enjoy family time and wide-open outdoor space to stroll the beach and walk the many trails that run through open lands. Enjoy cool lake breezes and a panoramic view of the iconic Fort Sheridan water tower from inside or outside while relaxing in your living and dining rooms. You will find many ways this unique home will serve your lifestyle.
