Discover the rare privilege of lake living on Chicago’s North Shore, where a private beach, the ever-changing beauty of Lake Michigan, and a peaceful ravine setting create a remarkable retreat. Nestled along a wooded ravine with seasonal lake views, this exceptional home offers a unique combination of privacy, natural beauty, and access to your own private stretch of shoreline. A dramatic two-story foyer with curved staircase welcomes you into the home. The main level has 10’ ceilings throughout, with a handsome wood-paneled library with coffered ceiling and fireplace at the front. The adjoining living and dining rooms are connected by a graceful flow, with a fireplace anchoring the living room and an expansive wall of arched windows in the dining room framing ravine and lake views. A well-appointed butler’s pantry connects the dining room to the kitchen and includes a sink, beverage refrigerator, Viking warming drawer, and generous cabinetry. The light-filled kitchen features beautiful views, high-end appliances including two dishwashers, and generous space for cooking and gathering. The adjoining mudroom provides an additional refrigerator, sink, and storage. A two-story family room with custom limestone fireplace and abundant natural light completes the main gathering spaces. Two staircases and an elevator lead to the upper level, featuring four ensuite bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with spa-like bath, private office, and scenic lake views. A separate office and second-floor laundry room add convenience. The back staircase leads to a heated sunroom with a resistance pool that also functions as a spa, plus a second washer and dryer. The lower level, also accessible by elevator, includes a recreation room, wet bar, exercise room, and ample storage. A three-car heated garage with dog bath completes this distinctive Lake Bluff residence, offering the privacy of a wooded ravine, the privilege of a private Lake Michigan beach, and the convenience of being less than an hour from Chicago.
