Property Description
Waterfront-A rare opportunity to own a home in one of the area's most coveted locations backing directly to Lake Deforest. Gracefully set back on 1.47 beautifully landscaped acres, this extraordinary home offers timeless architecture, modern updates and an unparalleled setting. From the moment you arrive, you will be captivated with the home's stunning curb appeal. Manicured grounds, mature plantings and a classic slate roof create an impressive first impression. Inside, a welcoming foyer showcases a graceful, curved staircase that sets the tone for the elegance found throughout. Rich in character, the home features remarkable 1930s architectural details including arched doorways, bay windows, custom millwork, and original built-ins. The oversized living room is both warm and inviting, highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace and a dramatic bay window overlooking the picturesque front lawn. An elegant archway leads to the family room, with custom built-ins and a wall of windows framing the view of the backyard and providing direct access to the expansive deck. Perfect for entertaining, the formal dining room retains its original built-in china cabinets and features another wall of windows along with sliding glass doors opening to the deck, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. You will love the eat-in kitchen – a true epicurean’s delight with tons of cabinets and storage nooks and five-star appliances including Sub-Zero, GE Monogram and Bosch. Completing the main level are a private den or home office and a tastefully renovated powder room. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat overlooking the lush backyard and Lake Deforest beyond. This serene sanctuary features a dressing room, oversized walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated spa-like bath with soaking tub and separate shower. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and two stunning renovated full baths complete the second floor. A remarkable third-floor bonus room spanning over 400 square feet provides incredible flexibility as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, media room, playroom, gym or creative space. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The expansive teak deck, multiple patios, and enormous level lawn provide endless opportunities for recreation, entertaining and unforgettable gatherings. Whether hosting a summer celebration or simply enjoying a quiet evening overlooking the lake, the setting is truly spectacular. Expanded in 2000 and extensively updated within the past five years, the home combines historic charm and gracious proportions while allowing you to simply move in and enjoy. Elegant and timeless this is more than a home—it's a private lakeside estate where cherished memories will be made for generations to come.
