Property Description
Timeless elegance meets modern comfort on a spectacular two-acre estate in prime Lake Forest. This exceptional home blends timeless sophistication with contemporary luxury, offering exquisite craftsmanship, soaring ceilings, and a warm, welcoming ambiance ideal for both relaxed daily living and elegant entertaining. A grand two-story foyer with gleaming limestone floors sets the tone, flanked by a refined living room with a large picture window and a formal dining room adorned with a bay window and striking chandelier. Refinished oak flooring flows throughout the main level, adding warmth and continuity. At the heart of the home, the newly remodeled kitchen features high-end appliances, a spacious center island, sunlit breakfast room, and a stylishly updated butler's pantry that seamlessly connects to the dining room. The adjacent family room boasts a coffered ceiling, fireplace, and built-in surround sound, while the stunning four-seasons room provides year-round enjoyment of the beautifully manicured grounds. An elegant hallway with classic wainscoting leads to a sophisticated home office with built-in shelving, a slate-surround fireplace, and expansive views of both the front and back yards. Two renovated powder rooms complete the main level. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, featuring 11-foot ceilings, newly installed oak flooring, expanded walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. Four additional bedrooms and three full baths offer comfort and flexibility for family or guests, including a spacious fifth-bedroom, ideal for a gym or playroom. A second staircase provides easy access back to the kitchen. The lower level is an entertainer's dream, complete with a custom wood bar, an "open-air" theater with professional-grade projector, surround sound, and screen; billiards area, lounge space, sixth bedroom with full bath, multiple storage rooms, and an additional half bath. Outside, enjoy a serene, professionally landscaped backyard featuring a three-tiered bluestone patio, built-in spa, and multiple seating areas perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The attached garage accommodates four cars and includes custom cabinetry, a large storage area, and epoxy-coated floors. Located just blocks from the West Lake Forest Metra station, Lake Forest High School's athletic campus, and a variety of everyday essentials -- coffee shops, restaurants, banks, hair salon, and a grocery store -- this home delivers luxurious living in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood. Whether commuting, running errands, or meeting friends for coffee, this location offers unmatched convenience.
