Set on over half an acre in coveted East Glencoe-just moments from the lake and the heart of downtown-this remarkable 6 bedroom, 6.2bath estate delivers a rare fusion of grand scale, refined sophistication, and enduring architectural beauty. A striking facade and custom curved front door welcome you into a and dramatic foyer where a sweeping staircase and Juliette balcony establish an unforgettable first impression. The circular entry opens to a richly appointed private office with custom millwork and elegant French doors. Expansive formal rooms off the front hall include an expansive living room with fireplace, a beautifully proportioned dining room ideal for memorable gatherings, and a formal powder room. The chef's kitchen is a standout, showcasing top tier appliances, a generous island, and a walk-in pantry, all flowing effortlessly into a vaulted, light filled breakfast room. The adjoining family room with dramatic ceilings and a second fireplace offers impressive volume and warmth, with every main living space overlooking one of the Village's most breathtaking, professionally designed landscapes-complete with multiple terraced stone seating and dining areas for dining, lounging, and entertaining. A serene first floor guest suite enjoys views of the grounds and exceptional privacy. A large mudroom, sunny laundry room, and heated attached three car garage complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite with vaulted ceilings is a true retreat-quietly tucked away from the other bedrooms and featuring a spa inspired bath, a third fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and an elegant sitting room. Four additional bedrooms are generously scaled: two with ensuite baths and spacious closets, and two connected by a beautifully executed Jack and Jill with private dressing areas. The lower level elevates everyday living with two large recreation rooms, a fully outfitted gym, full bath, wet bar with Subzero mini-fridge, refrigerated wine cellar, and abundant storage. Perfectly positioned within the acclaimed Glencoe school system and New Trier High School district, this is a truly exceptional home in one of the North Shore's most sought-after settings.
