Perfectly positioned in one of East Lake Forest's most coveted locations just moments from the shores of Lake Michigan, this exceptional estate spans over an acre and offers a lifestyle defined by beauty, space, and effortless elegance. Thoughtfully crafted with timeless design and meticulous attention to detail, the home features a brand new DaVinci roof, a coveted first-floor primary suite, soaring 9' ceilings, exquisite moldings, and inviting, light-filled living spaces. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you in and sets the tone for the warmth and sophistication found throughout. The renovated kitchen flows seamlessly into a sun-filled family room-perfect for everyday living, gathering with family, or hosting with ease. Gracious formal spaces include a handsome paneled library, an elegant dining room with picture moldings, and a refined living room anchored by a gas log fireplace and oversized bay window. Outdoors, the experience is equally special. Professionally landscaped grounds by Chalet create a private, garden-like setting with a bluestone and paver patio, manicured boxwoods, and vibrant rose and peony gardens. The south-facing, fully fenced backyard-framed by a classic brick and picket fence-offers exceptional privacy and a truly secluded feel, with ample space to accommodate a future pool. A charming fountain, previously enjoyed as a koi pond, adds to the serene ambiance, creating an ideal backdrop for sun-filled days, summer entertaining, or simply enjoying the beauty of the seasons. The home offers four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, including two on the main level: a serene primary suite designed as a private retreat, and a well-appointed second ensuite bedroom that also lends itself beautifully to a private office or study, if desired. Upstairs, two expansive ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional space and storage, with one offering an adjoining bonus room ideal for a playroom, fitness studio, or additional retreat. The second floor easily accommodates the addition of a third bedroom and bathroom, if desired. An incredible opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and an unbeatable location in one of East Lake Forest's most sought-after neighborhoods-this is a home not to be missed!
