Tucked behind a gated entrance and along a scenic driveway, this magnificent Georgian brick estate spans nearly 4 acres in the heart of Lake Forest. Offering unparalleled privacy, the fully fenced and gated grounds are enhanced by lush gardens, creating a tranquil, in-town country retreat. The momen...t you enter, you're greeted by a breathtaking double curved staircase, a striking feature that speaks to the quality and grandeur of this home. The sunken main living room, bathed in natural light, boasts sweeping 180-degree views of the meticulously landscaped gardens and bluestone patio. The spacious dining room flows seamlessly into the more casual wing of the residence, which includes a chef's kitchen, a family room with vaulted ceiling, and a sunroom-ideal for both grand entertaining and cozy nights by the fireplace. On the ground floor, the west wing features three versatile offices or libraries, providing a wealth of possibilities, while the east wing offers a separate mudroom entrance, laundry room, exercise room with a full bath (complete with a steam shower), and additional flex space. The expansive four-car garage is outfitted with smart system openers, new insulated doors, and cameras for added security. Upstairs, the second floor is accessed by either of two staircases and leads to a wide main hall that connects to the Primary Suite and four luxurious ensuite bedrooms. The Primary Suite is a private sanctuary with a wood-burning fireplace, a private balcony, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath. The third floor adds even more living space with three large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, ample storage, and a soundproof, well-ventilated cigar room. With a total usable square footage nearing 10,000 square feet, and an additional 3,000+ square feet in the basement, this home offers endless possibilities. The basement is home to vast storage areas, a dedicated craft room, recreational space, and a secure storage room. Modern upgrades are plentiful, including a 600-amp electrical service, designed to accommodate a pool and pool house, along with a large generator for peace of mind. The newly installed front circle driveway and walkways are heated by a dual-boiler system, ensuring comfort year-round. For those with a green thumb, the property features 12 raised beds for organic gardening, each with its own water source, as well as two registered butterfly gardens. A separate fire-pit area, hot tub, and expansive manicured lawn invite relaxation and outdoor enjoyment. If you're searching for a home that combines privacy, security, grandeur, and the serene atmosphere of the countryside-all within walking distance of downtown Lake Forest-this is the residence you've been waiting for.
