An unparalleled opportunity to own an exceptional, newer construction residence nestled within the highly coveted Lake Forest historical district on East Illinois Road. Designed by Goldberg-Szafarz and constructed by The Goebeler Company in 2021, this home demonstrates the epitome of sophisticated, modern luxury. The contemporary style is a work of art where elevated ceiling heights create a sense of spaciousness surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows fully immersing the interior in the harmony of the picturesque, lush landscape and abundant natural light. Carefully curated details seamlessly blend classic, custom millwork, white oak hardwood flooring, built-in features and motorized window treatments creating a balance of gathering spaces for family and entertaining, with private wings for retreating and relaxing, including a main floor primary bedroom suite where one can unwind in the warmth of gas fireplace and indulge in a spa-like sanctuary created by the primary bathroom with heated floors, a walk-in steam shower, oversized soaking tub, double sinks, a Kohler auto toilet in a private commode, seated vanity area and a separate dressing area in an enormous fully built-out, walk-in closet. The expertly crafted floor plan reflects intentional design and practical functionality at every turn; the centrally located great room with fireplace and dining area opens to a dream-come-true-culinary kitchen fully equipped with custom cabinetry, premium countertops, Subzero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, and a massive center island. An adjacent hallway provides a substantial walk-in pantry, separate laundry room and a generous mudroom with a closet and additional storage cubbies providing an unloading zone and interior access to the heated, three car garage with epoxy coated flooring and two universal EV chargers.
