Scale you cannot build today, inside a gated enclave of just eleven residences. At nearly 7,000 square feet on an oversized lot, this is the widest and largest home in a private Lakeview courtyard association whose owners share a clubhouse with an indoor lap pool, hot tub, and fitness room. If privacy is what you are after, look no further than this full masonry residence with three finished levels, five bedrooms, four full and two half baths, and four living spaces. French doors from three areas open the main level to a private interior terrace. This is the home's own courtyard terrace and its principal source of light. Formal living room with fireplace and coffered ceiling; formal dining with dry bar; chef's kitchen with quartz countertops, Wolf six-burner range, SubZero and Bosch, walk-in pantry and generous eat-in space; family room opening to the rear deck and yard. Upstairs: primary suite with spa bath and walk-in closets, three oversized bedrooms, three full baths, an additional family room and laundry. The lower level entertains like a private club with a high-ceilinged recreation room, wet bar, wine cellar and tasting room, two additional bedrooms, mudroom, second expansive laundry and rare storage. Zoned HVAC. Attached heated three-car garage plus gated carport for two exterior parking spaces for guests. Steps to the Southport Corridor, the Paulina and Diversey Brown Line stops, and within the Burley Elementary school district. Burley was ranked in the top 5% in the state of Illinois.
