Welcome to 1425 Lee Road-an extraordinary custom-built residence in coveted East Northbrook. Offering more than 7,000 square feet of exquisitely designed living space, this elegant home features five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and three powder rooms-an ideal setting for comfortable everyday living and stylish entertaining. A grand foyer sets the tone with a winch-mounted chandelier and a custom wood and glass front door flanked by sidelights. Thoughtful architectural details enrich every room: 10' ceilings on the main floor, arched entries, 8' solid core doors, 7.5" baseboards, and rich oak flooring throughout. Just off the foyer, a gracious dining room awaits, perfect for hosting large gatherings. Decorative sconces add ambiance, while French doors open to the inviting front porch. The adjacent butler's pantry includes a granite countertop, beverage refrigerator, and glass-front cabinetry-combining elegance and functionality. The heart of the home is the expansive great room, accessed through double arched doorways and anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with stone surround and gas setup. Custom built-ins and crown molding complete the space, while French doors open to a bluestone patio that spans the entire back of the home and overlooks the expansive backyard. Designed for culinary excellence, the chef's kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, 60" cabinetry, two sinks, dual ovens, coffee garage, pull-out pantry, walk-in pantry, toe-kick vacuum, and a built-in desk. Premium appliances include a Wolf gas cooktop with pot filler and granite backsplash, two Miele dishwashers, and a separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. Casual dining is effortless with peninsula seating and an airy eat-in area. Directly off the kitchen, a stunning four-season sunroom impresses with rough-sawn cedar walls and a cathedral ceiling, walls of windows, a stone fireplace, a ceiling fan, and walkout access to the patio. Surround sound carries through the interior and exterior, perfect for entertaining. Also on the main level is a private bedroom or home office with sliding doors to the patio and an adjacent full bath. A mudroom with custom built-ins, a separate laundry room, and two powder rooms complete the main floor. Upstairs, double doors lead to a serene primary suite-an expansive 22' x 25' retreat featuring a fireplace, ceiling fan, private balcony, and three generous closets, including two walk-ins. The spa-quality en-suite bath offers a walk-in steam shower, dual vanities with granite countertops, Robern heated medicine cabinets, a Bain Ultra jetted tub, heated floors, fireplace, separate water closet, and motorized Hunter Douglas shades. Four additional bedrooms on the second floor each boast walk-in closets with California Closet systems. Two have private en-suite baths, while the other two share a Jack and Jill bath with dual vanities and a skylight. A second laundry room on this level features granite counters, ample cabinetry, and a utility sink. The third floor provides even more flexible living space, with a massive bonus room and generous storage-ideal for a playroom, studio, or private office. The finished lower level adds exceptional versatility, offering a spacious recreation and media room, a beverage center with sink, an exercise room with rubber flooring, mirrored walls, and a ceiling fan, a half-bath, heated floors, ample storage, and private stairs leading directly to one of the two attached garages. Additional features include: central vacuum system, three furnaces with electronic air cleaners, 400-amp electrical service, two separate garages with epoxy floors, battery backup sump pump, security system, Pella windows, recessed lighting, in-ground sprinkler system, and pre-wired for an electric dog fence. This remarkable home blends timeless design, quality craftsmanship, and exceptional amenities in one of Northbrook's most sought-after locations-a truly perfect place to call home.
