Set on over 2 private acres in the heart of east Lake Forest, this magnificent, beautifully updated estate was designed by esteemed architect Frederick Wainwright Perkins. The entrance, defined by a stunning limestone garden gate along Deerpath Road hints at the impressive details one will find throughout the interior and exterior of this spectacular estate. The superior construction and level of intricate hand-carved architectural marble, limestone, wood and plaster details rival the grand estates on the east coast. This beautiful home includes 15 rooms, 6 bedrooms, 5.2 bathrooms, high ceilings, stone floors, lovely refinished hardwood floors throughout, 3 fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances, an elevator, a historic interior fountain, a 3 car garage, new air conditioning systems, new lighting, and sun-drenched rooms with expansive windows and mesmerizing views of the lush, professionally landscaped grounds. The elegant Great Room with intricate architectural details opens to the Office/Sunroom and Family Room which are perfect for intimate family gatherings or large-scale entertaining. The breath-taking grounds include hardscape from the original 1860 gardens designed by Frank Calvert. This home exudes a perfect blend of warmth, elegance, luxury, and comfort within 2 blocks of Lake Michigan and downtown Lake Forest with modern technology and conveniences of today. A third-floor walk-up attic and full basement provide flexible space for expansion if desired. Move right in and enjoy everything that this beautifully updated estate and Lake Forest has to offer! Available furnished as well.
