The original engine room is now a 1000 sf living room with soaring original beadboard ceilings, museum-sized exposed brick walls and an open loft feel.

Fort Sheridan is a former U. S. Cavalry Fort located on the Northshore between Lake Forest and Highland Park. It has over 1 1/2 miles of pristine Lake Michigan shoreline. After the fort closed in 1993, the historic buildings including the Fire Station, Stables, Officer Club, Barracks and others were restored to create a residential enclave that is part of Highland Park and the Highland Park School Districts. The Fire Station sits on a large corner lot adjacent to a Playground, Ravine, Pond, and Meadow at the heart of it all. Being able to just walk out your door to enjoy the Nature Trails, Beaches (including Dog Beach) wide open spaces, Walking & Bike Trails, Cross-Country Skiing, Openlands, and Forest Preserves make for a peaceful and active lifestyle. Wonderful shopping and restaurants in Downtown Highland Park, Lake Forest, and trendy Highwood are all minutes away and the Fort Sheridan Metra train stop is within walking distance! This is an exceptional oasis to enjoy life on Lake Michigan in a serene setting. Be sure to watch 3-D virtual tour and drone video tour.
