Description
A property like no other. Three buildings + pool: main house, pool house, 5-7car garage with lofted space. All in East Lake Forest, walking distance to town. Renowned architect Ambrose Cramer originally designed this gardener's cottage in 1960. Current owners thoughtfully restored, renovated and added-on earning the esteemed Lake Forest Historic Preservation Award in 2014. Main house has first floor master suite. Heated floors in the living room and designer touches everywhere. Second floor with one en suite bedroom, two more bedrooms and hall bath. Closets galore. All flooring, fixtures, finishes are exceptional and high end. Pool house has kitchen and rec area, full gorgeous new bathroom and its own laundry room. It has central air, heat and security. New 5c garage is a car collector's dream with heat, aircon, plumbing, security and an upstairs finished loft perfect for a remote or virtual office space, classroom pod, gym or more. Remarkable large pool has been newly replastered, new decking and mostly re-piped with PVC. New bluestone pool surround. A fountain greets you upon entering the gated property which is further enhanced with a bocce court, patio areas, pergola, and firepit crushed gravel patio. New pavers and asphalt driveways. Copper downspouts everywhere. New mechanicals. The list is endless. The property offers a fresh serene vibe with its interior spaces and outdoor offerings. Amazing and special.
