About This Home

Tucked away in one of Highland Park's most coveted east-of-Sheridan enclaves, just moments from the lakefront and jaw-dropping Rosewood Beach, this sprawling residence blends timeless architecture with refined amenities and over 10,000 square feet, offering a rare lifestyle of elegance, privacy, and ease. Situated on a lush, tree-canopied setting at nearly 3/4 of an acre, with manicured gardens, sculpted landscaping, and a grand circular drive that compliments the home's scale and serenity. Stucco-clad home with clay tile roof and a grand entry with soaring ceilings and dramatic architectural details create a deep first impression. The voluminous great room is a showstopper-anchored by a striking marble fireplace, floor-to-ceiling arched windows, and a dazzling custom chandelier, flooding the space with natural light and framing views of the verdant grounds. A light flooded kitchen awaits with walls of windows, custom cabinetry, sleek quartz counters, professional-grade appliances, and a sculptural center island-equal parts form and function. For more casual gatherings or multi-generational living, the lower-level second kitchen offers additional flexibility with a full suite of amenities. The expansive finished basement stretches out with nearly endless possibilities-all options on the table for large-scale recreation, home theater, gym, creative studio or multi-generational living. Full size multi person sauna on site as future feature of workout space. Multiple zones of heat and air, thoughtful storage throughout, full mud room with laundry center and attached three car garage. Unique configuration with six bedrooms plus library above grade and 6.2 baths with main level primary suite with dual primary baths including oversized soaking tub and multiple walk-in closets. 4 bedrooms are en-suite and there are over 12 skylights for abundant natural lighting. Tranquil and private rear yard with an oversized terrace framed by mature evergreens, flowering borders, and stone accents. Fruit trees and raised gardening beds, this secluded oasis is ideal for alfresco dining, morning meditation, or moonlit entertaining. Set just a short stroll from Lake Michigan and Highland Park's historic Ravinia District, within the Ravinia school district, 260 Beech offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial residence in one of the North Shore's most iconic neighborhoods.
