Description
Elegance, Privacy and Historical Architecture combine with Warmth and Character to create a rare offering! Designed by Edwin Hill Clark, the architect known for having designed Indian Hill Country Club, Winnetka and Hinsdale's city halls, Brookfield Zoo and the Lake Forest Library, this Georgian Revival style home was built in 1926, set on 3.25 private acres in a prominent sought after location within walking distance to downtown Lake Forest. A long, private driveway and circular tree-lined courtyard welcomes one to this stately residence. The great front entry hall, complete with a charming separate bar room, features Wall of Troy moldings and a gently curving stairway welcoming one into a home filled with architectural integrity, graciously proportional rooms and many original design features, perfect for scenes in the 1980 Robert Redford "Ordinary People" movie! Decorative arched doorways are carved out throughout the home. The Living and Dining Room feature distinctive floor to ceiling curved bay windows allowing light to flood the rooms. The library features honey toned wood paneling with arched bookshelves, medallion cornice and a carved Georgian mantlepiece surrounding the fireplace. A warm family room, complete with a fireplace is perfect for informal family gatherings. The primary suite is filled with light from the wide bay window and features the same arch motif that's found throughout the home. There are six other bedrooms with baths, a laundry room and workout room on the second level. An unfinished third floor with soaring ceilings offers all kinds of expansion and storage possibilities! The full basement is partially finished with additional entertainment and storage space. The exterior grounds offer tremendous outdoor recreation opportunities with an expansive and raised patio complete with fire pit, a large, screened porch opening to the newly redone pool area, special rose gardens and tennis court. A private, in town estate, offering a unique blend of architectural integrity, elegance and comfort.
