Property Description

Set against never-ending views of the protected Open Lands of Middlefork Savanna on a quiet Lake Forest cul-de-sac, this French Normandy stone-and-brick country residence offers approximately 5,785 above-grade finished living space on more than an acre of highly sought-after land. Fond du Lac stone, Abbington brick, a Vermont gray-slate roof, copper dormers, and a custom cupola announce the craftsmanship within. A travertine foyer opens to preserve views that carry through the home. The formal dining room features wainscoting, a bay window, and a butler's pantry. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with custom alder cabinetry, granite, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a Wolf cooktop, double ovens, and a breakfast room opening to a bluestone patio over the Open Lands. A light-filled sunroom rises under cathedral ceilings with barn-wood beams and a wall of windows; the full-paneled alder library offers 10-foot ceilings, a fireplace, and French doors. Five en-suite bedrooms include a primary retreat with a limestone fireplace and a spa bath - air-jet tub, steam shower, heated floors, and dual vanities. The finished lower level is built to entertain: a recreation room with fireplace and wet bar, a sixth bedroom suite, exercise room, surround-sound theater, and wine-cellar rough-in. A heated three-car carriage garage, dual zoned HVAC, two water heaters, battery-backup sump system, and full smart-home and security wiring complete a home designed to be treasured for generations. Lake Forest School Districts 67 & 115.
