About the Listing 3950 - 38913,37014
Over an acre of tranquil, park-like grounds sets the stage for this shingle-style home built in 1935 and expanded in 2005 by Downey & Goldberg Architects. Mindfully updated while preserving its character, the home reflects an Arts and Crafts influence through its design and materiality. Original fireplaces, solid wood doors, hardwood floors, and finely crafted millwork are complemented by a rich palette of granite, slate, soapstone, and limestone finishes in over 4,000 sq. ft. with additional 910-sq. ft. partially finished basement. The floorplan is carefully orchestrated for seamless flow, beginning with a welcoming foyer and progressing into formal living, dining, and family spaces, each filled with natural light and views of the surrounding grounds. Harmony with nature is reflected in the home's multiple outdoor living spaces, including a covered second-floor porch, deck, and patio with outdoor fireplace. An updated kitchen connects to the living and dining areas, all of which are oriented toward the backyard. Five bedrooms include a convenient first-floor guest or au pair suite, and a sanctuary-like primary suite appointed with cathedral ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and a spacious bath. A large second-floor family room is the ideal hangout with built-ins and cathedral ceilings, offering access to a finished third-floor flexible treetop room. The lower level offers recreation space, exercise area, and storage and utility rooms for flexible uses. Additional highlights include a mudroom, second-floor laundry, 2 staircases, a 3-car attached garage, and a 4-zone HVAC system. Significant property improvements have been made over the years, including full roof replacement with copper detailing, installation of a Generac whole-house generator, reinforced driveway, updated sump and drainage systems, kitchen refresh, mechanical upgrades, and ongoing infrastructure improvements. This character-rich home enjoys a serene natural setting less than a mile from top-rated Everett Elementary and just minutes from the train, shopping, and dining in West Lake Forest. A rare opportunity to own this Lake Forest retreat.
