About the Listing 3950 - 38913,37014,39042,33490

Set back along historic Ridge Road, this elegant brick manor stands with distinction along one of Lake Forest's most coveted residential corridors. A sweeping drive introduces a thoughtfully designed residence of over 4,200 square feet, highlighted by a first-floor primary suite and crowned by a new DaVinci roof in 2024. Framed by expansive, mature grounds spanning 1.38 acres, the home enjoys a serene, estate-like setting that feels both private and deeply rooted in its surroundings. Inside, a dramatic double-height foyer with curved staircase and marble floors introduces light-filled interiors defined by exquisite millwork, volume ceilings, and arched windows and doorways. Formal living and dining rooms provide spacious areas to gather and showcase sweeping views of the property. The soaring two-story family room with clerestory windows, fireplace, and wet bar, opens to a brick paver patio surrounded by mature landscaping. Timelessly renovated in 2024, the kitchen features granite counters, Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens, a large island, and sunny breakfast area with seamless entertaining flow to the dining, family, and sun rooms. The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary with a fireplace, private office/sitting room, two walk-in closets and a large spa bath appointed with a whirlpool tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including one with an ensuite bath and two bedrooms share a very spacious hall bathroom. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility by threading together a large recreation space, a bar area with mini fridge, half bath, cedar closet, and abundant storage options. A first-floor laundry room, formal and informal powder bathrooms, and three-car attached garage, featuring epoxy flooring and EV charging, complete the home's amenities. Centrally located just moments from Lake Forest's historic downtown, lakefront, and nationally recognized schools, this Ridge Road residence represents a rare convergence of architectural character, privacy, and expansive land.
