Property Description
Interior photos coming soon! Perfectly positioned in one of east Lake Forest's most coveted areas near town, this gorgeous 6/7-bedroom, all-brick Georgian offers a rare blend of timeless elegance, sophistication and comfort. Encompassing 5,445 square feet of meticulously crafted living space, the home welcomes you with high ceilings, sun-drenched interiors, and gleaming hardwood floors that flow effortlessly through an exceptionally designed layout. The residence is beautifully situated on a lush, meticulously landscaped one-acre parcel, complete with a fabulous swimming pool. The beautiful center-entry foyer with classic marble flooring provides a warm welcome, seamlessly transitioning into the elegant formal dining room and a stately living room. Both formal spaces feature oversized bay windows that flood the rooms with natural light, highlighting the lovely architectural detailing. Anchoring the living room is a library, complete with custom built-in bookshelves and an inviting fireplace-one of several throughout the home. Both the living room and library capture the northern, eastern, and southern views of the property. The heart of the home unfolds in the fabulous, wood-paneled family room, a bright space fully equipped with a wet bar, cozy fireplace, and southern-facing windows and doors. These open directly onto an expansive, sundrenched bluestone patio which is framed by vibrant, professionally curated plantings, defined by lovely garden walls. The spacious, bright white gourmet kitchen serves as a central hub connecting the formal dining room, family room, a casual breakfast area, and the rear stair foyer. The large laundry room includes abundant cabinetry and opens to the bluestone pool terrace. A versatile first-floor bedroom and adjacent half-bath-which can easily be restored to a full bathroom-provide a perfect guest or au pair suite with easy access to the mudroom, back hall, and the attached heated garage. Upstairs, the beautiful primary suite offers elevated views of the pool and manicured grounds and includes a walk-in dressing room, closets and a lovely bathroom with marble floors. Five additional generously sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms complete the second story, offering plenty of space and privacy for family and guests alike. The new roof was installed in 2024. An additional 995 square feet of living space extends to the partial, finished basement and includes a recreation room, game room, storage area and mechanical room. Outside, the fully fenced backyard serves as a private oasis, detailed with professional landscape lighting, a sprinkler system, multiple bluestone entertaining terraces, and both circular and side driveways to accommodate effortless guest parking. This remarkable home offers a lifestyle of casual luxury and incredible entertaining, situated in a private location just across from Onwentsia Club, near schools, parks and downtown east Lake Forest!
