Perfectly positioned in one of East Lake Forest’s most coveted locations just moments from the shores of Lake Michigan, this exceptional estate spans over an acre and offers a lifestyle defined by beauty, space, and effortless elegance. Thoughtfully crafted with timeless design and meticulous attention to detail, the home features a brand new DaVinci roof, a coveted first-floor primary suite, soaring nine-foot ceilings, exquisite moldings, and inviting, light-filled living spaces. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you in and sets the tone for the warmth and sophistication found throughout. The renovated kitchen flows seamlessly into a sun-filled family room—perfect for everyday living, gathering with family, or hosting with ease. Gracious formal spaces include a handsome paneled library, an elegant dining room with picture moldings, and a refined living room anchored by a gas log fireplace and oversized bay window. Outdoors, the experience is equally special. Professionally landscaped grounds by Chalet create a private garden-like setting with a bluestone and paver patio, manicured boxwoods, and vibrant rose and peony gardens. The south-facing fully fenced backyard—framed by a classic brick and picket fence—offers exceptional privacy and a truly secluded feel, with ample space to accommodate a future pool. A charming fountain previously enjoyed as a koi pond adds to the serene ambiance, creating an ideal backdrop for sun-filled days, summer entertaining or simply enjoying the beauty of the seasons. The home offers four bedrooms and four full bathrooms including two on the main level: a serene primary suite designed as a private retreat; and a well-appointed second ensuite bedroom that also lends itself beautifully to a private office or study if desired. Upstairs two expansive ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional space and storage with one offering an adjoining bonus room ideal for a playroom fitness studio or additional retreat. The second floor easily accommodates the addition of another bedroom and bathroom if desired. An incredible opportunity to enjoy space privacy and an unbeatable location in one of East Lake Forest’s most sought-after neighborhoods—this is a home not to be missed!

Chicago’s luxury property market has changed dramatically within the past decade – growing from a small, self-contained specialty, served by a handful of brokers, to a vast and highly competitive marketplace requiring an ever-increasing level of sophistication and reach.

Today, what drives success in the luxury market is not only a skilled and accomplished corps of agents, but also a comprehensive marketing strategy to brand individual listings and reach a relatively diverse audience.

That is why we offer the @Luxury Collection, a sales and marketing program that leverages @properties’ unmatched resources and relationships to meet the needs of Chicago’s luxury property owners. From new-construction in Lincoln Park to landmark mansions in the North Shore, from vintage high-rises along Lake Shore Drive to the newest generation of super-luxury towers, @properties has successfully marketed and sold hundreds of millions of dollars in high-end Chicago real estate.
