Striking and spacious, this Marco-designed all-brick Georgian estate is set majestically on 2.01 private acres at 711 W Old Elm Road, extensively renovated in 2023 and crowned by a brand-new DaVinci roof. A stately circular drive, mature trees, and a bluestone walk lead to a dramatic arched two-story foyer with a bridal staircase that sets the tone for the entire home. Expansive windows, French doors, abundant skylights, soaring ceilings, and hardwood floors fill the interior with natural light and create a seamless connection to the grounds. The fully renovated first floor centers on a stunning European-inspired kitchen with soaring ceilings, skylights, custom cabinetry, a custom backsplash, and a Thermador refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher seamlessly paneled to match. An oversized island offers generous seating, and a spacious walk-in pantry provides exceptional storage. The first floor also features a private in-law/guest suite and a mudroom just off the garage. With 6,053 square feet above grade, six bedrooms, and six full and one half bathrooms, every one of them remodeled, the home delivers rare scale and finish. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom sits near the second-floor laundry room, while a back staircase and third-floor bedroom loft add flexibility. The finished lower level adds approximately 3,600 square feet for recreation, fitness, media, and guests, complete with a sauna and a renovated full bathroom. Outside, a spectacular in-ground pool anchors a private, resort-style backyard, complemented by a four-car garage and additional outdoor parking. All within Lake Forest High School District 115, with convenient access to Market Square, Metra, and routes to Chicago and O'Hare. Grand in scale yet made for everyday living, this is space, privacy, and modern luxury, ready to enjoy now.
