Lavish living awaits in this bespoke, Lake Forest residence. Set on a lush, private 1.4-acre wooded lot, this impressive Georgian brick home offers over 9,000 square feet of beautifully updated living space, completely renovated in 2022. The endless custom finishes and luxury detailing of this gorgeous home are designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Upon entering this stunning estate through a sweeping circle drive and bluestone walkway, you are greeted by the grand two-story foyer featuring Carrara marble flooring and a dramatic staircase, flanked by the formal dining room, living room, and office featuring intricate hardwood inlays, handsome architectural details, and couture finishes. The upgraded gourmet kitchen features furniture-grade cabinetry with brushed brass and leather hardware, a stunning marble backsplash, quartz countertops, a large center island, two sinks, a walk-in pantry, and stainless steel appliances. The sunny breakfast nook includes a cozy, see-through fireplace and connects through oversized glass french doors to the great room and sunroom, offering spacious and seamless gathering space. Soaring cathedral ceilings, vast windows, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create an unforgettable ambience in the great room, while panoramic backyard views and dual skylights make the sunroom a serene, light-filled retreat that features access to a sprawling bluestone patio with solid brick knee walls. An expansive second-floor landing leads to the luxurious primary suite featuring a private entry with a barrel ceiling, oversized dressing room with custom closet built-ins, cozy fireplace, and attached office/flex space. The spa-like primary bath features Carrara marble flooring, a free-standing soaking tub, an oversized shower with multiple body sprays, and chic art-deco style vanities. Down the hall, four additional large bedrooms, two ensuite and two connected by a jack-and-jill bath, and a recently upgraded laundry room complete the second floor. But the sprawling living spaces and high-end finishes do not stop there! Continue to the expansive basement, which is an entertainer's dream. You will be sure to impress your guests with a glamorous, wrap-around wet bar and ample gathering space, featuring a fireplace and custom built-in finishes throughout. The basement also includes a workout space or 6th bedroom, full bathroom, additional recreation space, second staircase, and endless storage (including a cedar storage room). The grounds feature a secluded backyard with expansive lawn space, two patios, lush landscaping, and a four-car garage. A rare combination of impressive scale, privacy, thoughtfully curated luxury finishes, and modern upgrades throughout, this exceptional Lake Forest estate has it all.
