Originally designed by noted architect Steve Rugo and constructed with exceptional craftsmanship of the highest level, the home has been meticulously transformed by its current owners through an extensive whole-home renovation. Every inch of the residence has been thoughtfully reimagined and elevated to an exceptional standard, seamlessly blending classic architectural character with sophisticated modern luxury. Exquisite, high-end material selections, bespoke finishes, and impeccable attention to detail are showcased throughout. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes guests into approximately 6500 total square feet of beautifully finished living space across all levels, featuring soaring ceilings, 6 bedrooms, 6 full and two half-baths, including his and her bathrooms with walk-in and cedar closets, five fireplaces, two staircases, gleaming hardwood floors and Baldwin Estate brass hardware throughout the home, and abundant natural light. The spectacular chef's kitchen serves as the heart of the home, offering custom cabinetry, premium quartzite surfaces, top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, an expanded pantry and mudroom, and a sun-filled gathering area anchored by a fireplace. Just beyond, the spacious yet inviting family room is designed for both relaxed everyday living and gracious entertaining. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by views of the magnificent grounds, this comfortable gathering space flows seamlessly into the newly renovated greenhouse, creating a stunning year-round retreat that beautifully connects the home to its gardens and landscape. Elegant formal living and dining rooms provide ideal entertaining spaces, while the richly paneled library features custom built-ins and a fireplace. The luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a fireplace, Juliette balcony, and two spa-inspired baths that have been beautifully renovated with European marble floors, quartzite surfaces, designer finishes and exceptional craftsmanship. All bedrooms are ensuite, and every bathroom throughout the home has been thoughtfully updated with custom cabinetry, premium fixtures, and carefully curated stone and tile selections. European marble flooring enhances the laundry room, mud room, kitchen and both master bathrooms, while refinished white oak floors, designer lighting, and custom millwork create a cohesive sense of understated luxury throughout the residence. The finished lower level offers exceptional flexibility with recreation and exercise areas, a wine room, guest accommodations, a full bath, hobby space, and abundant storage. Equally impressive are the estate's remarkable grounds, which have undergone extensive professional landscaping and hardscape improvements. Expansive south-facing lawns, mature trees, a greenhouse, vibrant gardens, bluestone and brick patios and walkways, and enchanting French country-inspired lighting create a private, park-like setting that is both beautiful and serene. Beyond its stunning aesthetic transformation, the home has benefited from substantial investments in mechanical systems, security, infrastructure, and countless quality improvements, creating a truly turnkey offering. A three-car attached garage completes the property. Rarely does a home combine architectural pedigree, extraordinary privacy, meticulous renovations, and such exceptional grounds. Reimagined with uncompromising attention to detail and finished with exquisite materials throughout, 1177 Edgewood Road presents a rare opportunity to own one of east Lake Forest's most beautifully curated estates. Just minutes from downtown Lake Forest, Metra, award-winning schools, shops, restaurants, and the lakefront, this is truly a turnkey Estate of distinction.
