あなたの家は家から離れて

I am a born-and-bred city girl, having grown up less than a mile south of Wrigley Field in East Lakeview, a bustling Chicago neighborhood. I went to both public and parochial schools in Chicago and my summers were spent at the Chicago Park District's day camps and swimming in Lake Michigan. I love The Lake.

Although I left Chicago for college and travel, I couldn't get Chi-town out of my system and returned there when I was 27. I am now a Chicago Public School teacher and live in Chicago (of course!) five miles west of Wrigley with my husband, two kids, and a dog.

Every summer, I would spend hours in Lake Michigan and I've never wanted to be far from it. It was a life long dream to have a "summer home" where I could invite my friends and family and the kids could roam the roads and collect toads and rocks, the adults could unplug, we could spend days at the beach or hanging in the yard, we could grill our dinners, unwind at a local bar or around the fire, and really connect with the people that matter most and make memories that will last a lifetime. I looked for this special place for years.

And then I found it! The Lux Nest is everything I envisioned! The yard has the perfect climbing tree, a creek to explore, the right amount of shade for a restful nap in the hammock, a hot tub to melt the stress away, a finished basement for extra living space, and an easy drive from Chicago.

I fell in love. I've loved every minute I've spent there and I'm so happy to be able to share it.
