Custom built in 2009 with uncompromising craftsmanship, the home makes a striking first impression with its gated entrance, stately all-brick exterior, slate roof, copper gutters, limestone balusters, and elegant brick paver driveway (with snowmelt system). Beautifully landscaped grounds and a private built-in swimming pool create a serene and inviting setting. Inside, extraordinary quality and thoughtful design are evident at every turn. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you with a sweeping curved staircase, custom iron balustrades, and rich Brazilian mahogany floors laid in an intricate herringbone pattern-setting the tone for the refined interiors that follow. Just beyond, the formal living room showcases exquisite paneled millwork, a coffered ceiling, and a fireplace, all complemented by oversized windows and French doors that fill the space with natural light. The elegant dining room is equally impressive, featuring a statement chandelier, detailed ceiling design, and a fireplace, creating a warm yet sophisticated setting for entertaining. The rich Brazilian mahogany floors run throughout the main living spaces, complemented by soaring 10' ceilings and 8' mahogany doors. Exquisite millwork-meticulously sawn on site-adds character and refinement throughout the home, while five fireplaces provide warmth and ambiance. A paneled elevator transports to all three levels. The main level features a luxurious primary suite designed for comfort and privacy, complete with two generous walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a round Jacuzzi tub, an oversized walk-in shower, and a convenient laundry room. At the heart of the home, the spectacular chef's kitchen is appointed with furniture-grade cabinetry, thick granite countertops, and a large center island. Premium appliances include a professional six-burner Wolf range, two Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezers, two Miele dishwashers, a 4-burner Wolf cooktop, and a stainless steel farmhouse sink overlooking the rear yard. The spacious breakfast area offers beautiful views of the bluestone terrace and landscaped backyard. The thoughtfully designed layout continues with a three-car attached garage that opens directly to a beautifully organized mudroom, ideal for managing everyday life. Just off this space is a full pool bath with exterior access, providing convenience for poolside living. Upstairs, the second level offers three spacious en-suite bedrooms. The north bedroom includes a sitting room that could easily be converted into a fifth bedroom with a Jack-and-Jill bath. This suite also connects to a massive bonus room with fireplace above the garage, along with an adjacent room already plumbed for a second laundry room. At the center of the upper level, a private balcony provides a peaceful retreat-perfect for enjoying a summer read or relaxing in the sun. The finished basement level features 9'6" ceilings and offers exceptional living and entertaining space. Highlights include a wonderful recreation room with two-sided fireplace, theater, exercise room, and a luxurious spa bath with sauna. A full second kitchen, a deluxe wine cellar and a large laundry room with two washers and two dryers complete the lower level. Comfort and efficiency are enhanced by five HVAC systems, a security system, radiant heated floors in the garage, kitchen, and basement, Lutron Homeworks low-voltage lighting system, Lutron shade automation, and the protection of a 20KW whole-house backup generator. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, this remarkable estate combines classic elegance, superior craftsmanship, and resort-style amenities. A rare opportunity to experience refined living in one of Lake Forest's most coveted North Shore locations.
