Property Description

This stunning estate commands immediate attention with its circle drive prominently positioned at the end of a private enclave. The only home with a rear yard facing south & grounds that are truly spectacular - a pool, hot tub, pond, beautifully landscaped gardens with in ground sprinkler system plus a 4 car attached garage. The home has been meticulously maintained, with key features including a newer DaVinci roof, newer boiler (for heated flooring), some newer kitchen appliances, pool retiled, a whole house generator (for peace of mind), and more (see feature sheet under the Additional Info tab). The main living floor offers approximately 7,000 square feet with soaring 13-18 foot ceilings, custom millwork, 3 fireplaces, and graceful archways that fill every room with light - an ideal setting for entertaining on any scale. All main-floor bedrooms are en suite, with an additional full bath off the opposite wing, perfect for guests. The wood-paneled den with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves is a showstopper, and the sunroom overlooking the pool - along with the expansive screened porch - offers multiple options for relaxed or formal gatherings. The lower level adds another roughly 7,000 square feet, including approximately 3,500 square feet of finished space for media, gaming, and a fourth bedroom currently used as an office, as well as a wine cellar and fourth fireplace in family room. A fully self-contained guest suite ~1,000 square feet - with its own kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and private exterior entrance - rounds out the level beautifully. The additional ~2,500 square feet of unfinished storage could easily be converted to living space with minimal alteration. Storage is abundant throughout - in every bedroom and across the home. Located in coveted Lake Forest - one of Chicago's most prestigious North Shore communities, known for its stunning natural beauty, tree-lined streets, top-rated schools, and charming downtown Market Square - this enclave features privately maintained streets and a pond through an affordable annual HOA. A rare opportunity to own over 1.3 acres of estate living with easy access to the Metra, the lakefront, and all that this exceptional community has to offer, just a short drive from downtown Chicago.
