About the Listing 3950 - 38913,37014

The ultimate expression of town-and-country living in East Lake Forest. Set at the end of a long, private tree-lined drive, this Steve Rugo-designed estate in coveted East Lake Forest evokes the romance of the French countryside set on 1.6 fully fenced acres. Defined by mature trees and sweeping south-facing lawns, this park-like setting creates an idyllic backdrop for a residence completely transformed from top to bottom and is only minutes from downtown Lake Forest, award-winning schools, the Metra station, and the beach. Recently reimagined with a complete whole-home renovation, the residence balances classical architectural proportions with transitional interior design. Every corner of its 5,824 square feet displays meticulous attention to detail and craftmanship. Materials and bespoke finishes were carefully chosen for their enduring quality-from the refinished staircase to hardwood floors, exquisite millwork, and custom Baldwin Estate hardware throughout. A two-story foyer introduces a main level flowing effortlessly between formal and informal spaces. Deep bay windows anchor the living room, filling the space with natural light as a French door leads to a bluestone entertainer's patio, thoughtfully positioned to maximize outdoor privacy. The formal dining room is equally captivating as an entertaining space with picturesque garden views. Set away from the main level entertaining spaces, a wood paneled library offers a quiet retreat with a wet bar, bespoke built-ins, a fireplace, and direct access to the yard. The renovated kitchen serves as the home's centerpiece with custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, an expansive island for prep and eating, plus an expanded pantry and renovated mudroom. The adjoining breakfast area is anchored by a brick hearth and a wall of windows framing the outdoors beyond. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by views of the grounds, the family room presents a comfortable gathering space with a dramatic brick fireplace sweeping all the way to the ceiling. The adjacent green house also offers a beautiful year-round retreat as it connects to the gardens and landscape. Upstairs, a primary suite set within its own private wing is accompanied by four secondary bedrooms and three additional full bathrooms. Designed as a quiet sanctuary, the primary bedroom features volume ceilings, a fireplace, a Juliet balcony overlooking the grounds, multiple walk-in closets, and dual spa baths luxuriously appointed with European marble floors, quartzite surfaces, and designer finishes. The fully finished lower level adds over 2,000 square feet of versatile space, including a recreation space, double-doors opening to a flex space that can serve as a sixth bedroom, a full bath, a wine cellar, extensive storage, and an art studio with a dedicated sink. Modernized mechanical systems, an elevator-ready shaft, a three-car attached garage, and a comprehensive list of upgrades complete this unforgettable turnkey offering.
