About This Home

Sold while in PLN. Privacy abounds in a most desirable east Lake Forest locale. This lovely French Regency home is a fine example of timeless elegance and exacting craftsmanship. From the moment you enter the motorcourt, the home captivates you with its classic architectural presence. To begin, a most delightful front entry foyer welcomes you to the warm ambiance yet to come. Beautifully proportioned main rooms are all south facing, assuring an abundance of natural light while capturing views of the remarkable gardens and property. An impeccably detailed sunroom, with three walls of glass, extends into the yard assuring year round enjoyment of the setting. The chef's kitchen and breakfast room by DeGiulio boasts top-of-the-line appliances and outstanding custom cabinetry. The serene primary suite features a gorgeous bath and a large walk-in closet. Bedroom two provides a bath ensuite, while two others share a new hall bath. There are both second floor and lower level laundry facilities. The lower level is nicely finished with a recreation/media room, workshop area, and another full bath. There is an abundance of storage. The three car garage has an epoxy finished floor. Originally designed by noted architect, Jerome Cerny, it retains many of his trademark details, i.e. gorgeous hardware, substantial moldings and millwork and resounding quality. Newer architectural enhancements by Tom Rajkovich, Chicago. Landscape design by Craig Bergmann.
