Welcome to this architecturally inspiring French Normandy home built in 1931 that was completely rebuilt and expanded in 2005. The Poulton Group created a truly remarkable residence that seamlessly integrates design, materials, and craftsmanship, all while maintaining a profound connection to its setting. Set on 1.8 beautifully manicured acres, the home was designed to enjoy the views from every room. The gallery, a wide hallway with four sets of French doors, overlooks the beautiful pool and professionally landscaped backyard, while the formal living room features six sets of French doors. The library features elegant wood paneling and two sets of French doors that open to an enchanting walled garden, leading you through the winding boxwoods and rose garden. The opulent first floor primary suite is strategically located near the office in its own private wing of the house and the primary bathroom has radiant heated floors. The unparalleled primary closet has two floors and four separate rooms. The spacious kitchen with a gorgeous fireplace is the heart of the home, with an elegant yet expansive butler's pantry that connects to the dining room and a top-of-the-line Lacanche stove, CornuFe' 90 hood, and Hestan 48" gas range. The sunroom also has heated floors and a picturesque view of the woodlands area of the gardens. The living room and family room boast stunning cathedral ceilings, the primary bedroom features a 14 foot tray ceiling. This home is an enchanted tapestry of wood and stone, with timber-framed ceilings, custom doors, built-ins, exquisite paint finishes and features five gas-start wood burning fireplaces all on the first floor. All five bedrooms are ensuite, ensuring privacy and comfort. There are six full and two half baths. The new pool, hot tub, hardscape landscaping, and a driveway spacious enough for the professionally painted pickleball court create a private retreat. The home also features a theater room, sauna, exercise room, wine cellar and additional third floor bonus room. The slate roof was recently maintained and promises a 100+ year life span. This property is a showcase in every respect-truly an opportunity of a lifetime!Few Facts: Marcus Lemonis owned this home, The seller is a Real Estate Broker. Utilities: North Shore Gas and ComEd.
