Property Description

Designed by the highly regarded architect Stanley Anderson and built in 1930, this classic Colonial Revival estate in North King Muir represents one of Lake Forest's finest examples of preserved historic architecture. Restored to its original splendor and meticulously reimagined for contemporary living, the residence spans over 5,200 square feet, seamlessly uniting five bedrooms, five baths, and multiple light-filled spaces for entertaining within its historic proportions. A circular drive and Lannon stone and brick facade offer a commanding presence before one even reaches the front door.

 

Inside, impeccable bones and vintage character throughout: hardwood floors, mouldings, wainscotting, arched doorways, original re-plated brass hardware. The main level flows beautifully from the grand foyer to a front office/den, sunny living room, and spacious dining room. Extending from the living and dining rooms, the heated sunroom creates a year-round connection to the grounds and opens to the bluestone patio just beyond. The classically inspired Christopher Peacock kitchen is the heart of the home. Commercial-grade appliances, abundant cabinetry, marble, granite, and teak countertops, two sinks and a generous center island anchor the space. A thoughtfully placed pantry with barn door rests off the kitchen, as does a breakfast room which opens directly into the family room via a charming cased pass-through bar. A bonus room with an ideal first-floor guest bedroom or office, large sunny laundry room, and full bathroom complete the first floor.

Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite bath featuring vintage-style tile and traditional details. One bedroom opens onto a deck overlooking the yard. The primary suite functions as its own private wing: a boutique-worthy walk-in closet and dressing area, a fully remodeled spa-inspired bath, a private staircase to the kitchen below and a view overlooking the backyard.

Outside, an expansive bluestone patio with grill opens to a professionally landscaped lawn framed by a wooded setting and wrought iron fence, creating a true private sanctuary on nearly an acre. A two-car garage, full basement, and a long list of upgrades complete this extraordinary property.
