Tucked down a long private drive and surrounded by mature landscaping, this 2.37 acre property offers a rare sense of privacy and seclusion while remaining within walking distance of the West Lake Forest business district and Metra train station. Completely reimagined with a relaxed, resort-style feel, this exceptional 5 bedroom, 5.2 bath brick Georgian blends timeless architecture with extensive modern updates. The home offers a well-designed layout with extensive updates carried throughout, creating a comfortable, move-in-ready home. The main level balances formal and everyday living spaces. The living room features a gas log fireplace, while the dining room is supported by a bar. A dedicated office with built-in bookcases provides a quiet work-from-home option. The family room is a standout space, with a cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, and a gas fireplace with a custom limestone surround and mantel. The kitchen has been fully updated with white beaded inset cabinetry, high-end appliances, a large island, and marble countertops. It extends into a bright breakfast room and provides direct access to the patio. A walk-in pantry offers exceptional storage. Two renovated powder rooms add convenience. A separate laundry room and a mudroom with a customized walk-in closet designed to keep everyone organized completes the first floor. New hardwood flooring runs throughout most of the main level. Upstairs, all five bedrooms are well sized, with three en suite and two connected by a Jack and Jill bath. The primary suite has been fully updated and includes a large walk-in shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, heated floors, and an oversized walk-in closet. The finished lower level adds meaningful living space, including a recreation room, full kitchen, workout room, game room, and a dedicated theater with theater-style seating, screen, Sony projection system, and surround sound concealed behind custom wall panels. A newly updated full bath completes the lower level. The home has also seen significant mechanical and structural improvements, including a new DaVinci synthetic tile roof installed in 2023. Outside, the property has been transformed by Mariani Landscape with new hardscape and landscape enhancements that reinforce the resort-like setting. The backyard space includes an outdoor kitchen with Hestan grill, limestone gas fire pit, a kids play area, a fenced in vegetable garden, plus landscape lighting, and irrigation. This is a thoughtfully updated home, inside and out, with a level of finish and livability that is not often found. A must see.
