A rare Lake Forest offering. Ideally situated just steps from Lake Michigan and the heart of town, this exceptional custom-built all-brick residence offers a remarkable blend of architectural integrity, refined craftsmanship and effortless livability. Set on a beautifully scaled one acre site, the 6,952 square foot home was designed and built in 2002 with an appreciation for enduring quality and timeless style. From the slate roof and handsome copper gutters to the rich wide-plank walnut floors, every detail reflects a level of craftsmanship rarely found in newer construction. The elegant interiors are complemented by an exceptional kitchen featuring custom cabinetry imported from England, creating a sophisticated yet inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. A private handsome wood paneled library with fireplace provides a very private office space. The home offers five bedrooms, five full and two half baths, with generously proportioned living spaces that flow beautifully for both intimate gatherings and grand-scale entertaining. The finished Lower Level adds an additional 1,351 square feet of exceptional living space, complete with second family room with cozy fireplace, Bar area, 5th bedroom, exercise room and dedicated home theater. Beyond the exceptional architecture and craftsmanship, the location is truly special. Enjoy the rare convenience of walking to the Lake Forest Beach, downtown Lake Forest, Metra train, shopping, dining and the many amenities that make Lake Forest such a wonderful place to call home.
