Stately French Normandy-style home located on 1.4 pristine acres down an exclusive private lane just minutes from downtown Lake Forest! Custom-built by Gene Martin in 1999, this beautiful home is the culmination of thoughtful design, luxurious finishes, solid construction, and loving care. With over 7,500 sq ft of finished living space, the home has 5 bedrooms (all with en suite bathrooms), 7.1 bathrooms, 10'+ ceilings throughout, and oak hardwood floors. A stunning, two-story foyer w/ a sweeping staircase greets you as you enter the home. On either side of the foyer, the living room & dining room have gorgeous millwork, Scalamandre window treatments, and "sister" gas fireplaces. A beautiful de Giulio kitchen w/ custom pine cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end appliances (Viking, Sub Zero, Meile), a large island & eating area is right off the dining room, and leads into the handsome family room w/ bay windows, a coffered ceiling, and majestic fireplace. Down the back hallway, you'll find a large library/office w/ built-in shelves, pocket doors, and access to a small, private patio. At the end of the hallway is the large Guest Suite that also could be a 2nd Primary bedroom and features a 14' tray ceiling, a morning kitchen w/ beverage refrigerator, sink & microwave, large windows, and a bright bathroom w/ marble floors & countertops. A large screened porch w/ knotty pine ceiling is just off the kitchen & family room, and a mudroom/laundry room leads out to the 4-car heated garage. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms including the impressive Primary Suite that features a 12' vaulted ceiling, a balcony overlooking the backyard, a morning kitchen, a separate water closet w/ bidet, a massive walk-in closet w/ island, a bonus room that could be an office, exercise room, craft room or just additional storage, and a stunning circular bathroom w/ two vanities, a circular jetted tub & a large walk-in shower. The expansive, finished lower level contains a large 2nd family room w/ fireplace, a game room w/ lots of closet space, a full bathroom, and a big storage room. Outside, there is a newer circular driveway, a large bluestone patio just off the screened porch, a smaller bluestone patio off of the library/office, a slate roof, a sprinkler system, and many beautiful, professionally landscaped plantings and flower beds. The home is ideally situated close to town, Metra, shopping, restaurants, Lake Michigan, and the highway. This incredible property is a "must see!"
