Property Description
Nestled on 5.23 acres of prairie landscape and bordering protected conservancy woods, this extraordinary home offers complete privacy while remaining within walking distance to Lake Bluff and its charming village center. With no possibility of further development nearby, this sanctuary offers a rare blend of seclusion and convenience. Custom-built in 2010 and inspired by the Arts and Crafts style of C.F.A. Voysey, the home is a true architectural gem. Soaring windows, detailed millwork, and over 6,000 square feet of living space invite natural light and views of the surrounding beauty into every corner. A long, winding driveway sets the tone for this serene retreat. Inside, thoughtful design caters to both entertaining and everyday living. The chef's kitchen is a dream, complete with high-end appliances and a wood-fired pizza oven. The radiant-heated dining room is wrapped in windows, creating a bright, welcoming space. A cozy living room with a grand hearth flows into a dedicated homework or office room-ideal for work or study. Five bedrooms offer en-suite layouts, with two being more modest in size and not featuring walk-in closets-perfect for guests or flex use. A charming upstairs loft and whimsical secret passageways throughout the home make this a dream house for children and a source of fun for all ages. The basement even includes a built-in slide, designed for multi-generational play and enjoyment. At the top of the home's tower, a bonus room with wet bar delivers sweeping views of the estate-an inspiring spot for quiet reflection or lively gatherings. Outside, relax in the in-ground hot tub, explore the grounds with bee hives, or consider adding a pool or outbuildings to further enhance this one-of-a-kind property. A coach house awaits your finishing touches, ideal for visitors or an au pair. This is not just a home-it's a lifestyle. Luxurious, imaginative, and rooted in nature, it is a true East Lake Bluff treasure.
