Some estates are built to impress. This one was built to live in, beautifully, privately, and without compromise. Set behind a gated entry on 1.34 professionally landscaped acres, this stone and brick manor offers something increasingly rare on Chicago's North Shore: true privacy, generous space, and a connection to nature that cannot be manufactured. A serene prairie stretches beyond the property, a private walking path runs just steps from the door, and dramatic western sunsets color the sky each evening from nearly every room in the house. Built in 2006 and thoughtfully updated ever since, the 9,600 square foot residence is designed to live like a ranch with the first-floor primary suite, main-level great room, kitchen, and family room all flowing together on one level, yet with five additional en-suite bedrooms upstairs for family or guests. The great room anchors the home with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows framing the prairie, and a double-sided fireplace. The 2023 remodeled kitchen is a showpiece: marble counters, custom black cabinetry, a dedicated coffee center, refrigerated wine closet, two dishwashers, and an accordion door system that opens fully to a full-length paved deck, blurring the line between inside and out in the best possible way. The primary suite is a genuine retreat: sitting room, fireplace, wet bar, and panoramic views of the grounds. Upstairs, five en-suite bedrooms and a 52x22 bonus room flex easily as a playroom, home office, art studio, or second family lounge. The lower level is complete with a home theater, full gym, sauna, wet bar with kegerator, and a lavish full bath. Recent major updates include a new roof, gutters and downspouts (2024), two new furnaces and A/C units, a completely rebuilt staircase (2020), and a remodeled mudroom with heated floors. The heated 4-car garage, underground sprinklers, and brick driveway complete the picture. Privately situated yet remarkably convenient; Highland Park and Deerfield are minutes away in either direction, with easy access to Highway 41 for the Chicago commute. Room to add a pool, tennis court, or sport court on the expansive grounds. **MOTIVATED owner. ** Welcome home.
