Crafted in 2006 by the Goebeler Company and designed by Lake Forest Landmark Development, this New England shingle-style home carries the character of a historic property with modern amenities. Inside, timeless architectural details anchor the interiors including 10-ft. ceilings, wainscoting, crown molding, tray ceilings, intricate woodwork, hardwood floors, and built-ins. A welcoming front porch introduces you to a spacious formal entry with European closets. To the right, an octagon-shaped living room features a gas fireplace and built in cabinet for games or a dry bar. To the left, a large dining room with Cole & Sons wallpaper and beaded chandelier set the scene. Pass through to the gourmet all white kitchen with Subzero and Thermador appliances, farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, a large kitchen island, and space for a breakfast table. The kitchen leads to a sunny family room, and both rooms feature French doors to the patio with gas Weber grill. A mudroom with beadboard, slate tile and floor to ceiling cabinetry includes convenient access to the driveway and side yard, a powder bath, and laundry room. The upstairs primary suite doubles as a sanctuary with a fireplace, large walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with heated floors, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and soaking tub, all meant to evoke calm. Three additional bedrooms and two baths are upstairs. The finished basement adds 1,602 square feet and includes a large rec space, flexible office or den with a fireplace, exercise room, plus a private fifth bedroom with full bath and steam shower-perfect for guests, in-laws, or au pair. Modern systems include a standby generator, two-system HVAC, insulated 2-car detached garage. A picture-perfect setting in East Lake Bluff, only a few blocks from downtown, the Metra, and Lake Michigan. Move-in ready and enjoy it from day one.
