About This Home
Perfectly positioned in one of East Lake Forest's most coveted locations just moments from the shores of Lake Michigan, this exceptional estate spans over an acre and offers a lifestyle defined by beauty, space, and effortless elegance. Thoughtfully crafted with timeless design and meticulous attention to detail, the home features a brand new DaVinci roof (scheduled for installation in May 2026), a coveted first-floor primary suite, soaring 9' ceilings, exquisite moldings, and inviting, light-filled living spaces. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you in and sets the tone for the warmth and sophistication found throughout. The renovated kitchen flows seamlessly into a sun-filled family room-perfect for everyday living, gathering with family, or hosting with ease. Gracious formal spaces include a handsome paneled library, an elegant dining room with picture moldings, and a refined living room anchored by a gas log fireplace and oversized bay window. Outdoors, the experience is equally special. Professionally landscaped grounds by Chalet create a private, garden-like setting with a bluestone and paver patio, manicured boxwoods, and vibrant rose and peony gardens. The south-facing, fully fenced backyard-framed by a classic brick and picket fence-offers exceptional privacy and a truly secluded feel, with ample space to accommodate a future pool. A charming fountain, previously enjoyed as a koi pond, adds to the serene ambiance, creating an ideal backdrop for sun-filled days, summer entertaining, or simply enjoying the beauty of the seasons. The home offers four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, including two on the main level: a serene primary suite designed as a private retreat, and a well-appointed second ensuite bedroom that also lends itself beautifully to a private office or study, if desired. Upstairs, two expansive ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional space and storage, with one offering an adjoining bonus room ideal for a playroom, fitness studio, or additional retreat. The second floor easily accommodates the addition of a third bedroom and bathroom, if desired. An incredible opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and an unbeatable location in one of East Lake Forest's most sought-after neighborhoods-this is a home not to be missed!
