This home offers a combination of features that is unique in Shorewood Hills. The house resides on a double lot with mature trees and gardens and features a separate cottage in the back yard. The cottage can be used for a variety of different purposes - as a studio, as a guest house or mother-in-law suite, or as rental income.
Many people do not know this, but the Village of Shorewood Hills is home to two historic districts. The College Hills historic district includes a section of homes on the eastern edge of the community. The Shorewood historic district includes real estate located in a northern section of the community near Blackhawk Country Club.
There are some tremendous financial benefits to being an owner of a historic home. One advantage is strong resale value. Buyers of historic homes tend to be very passionate about their affinity for vintage properties, which benefits owners when it's time to sell. The second benefit includes state and federal tax credits which reward owners for making improvements to their historic homes.
