This one-of-a-kind newer construction 10,000+ sq ft home, set on a quiet cul-de-sac lot in East Lake Forest's coveted Onwentsia area, combines modern luxury with timeless craftsmanship and bespoke interiors. A collaboration between Northworks Architects, Legacy Custom Homes, designer Frank Ponterio, nuHaus, and Mariani Landscape, it boasts premium natural and reclaimed materials like Lannon stone, Chicago brick, slate, and 130-year-old barn beams. The home is a 2024 Lake Forest Preservation Award winner and features cutting-edge smart technology, including integrated HVAC, radiant heated floors, lighting, music, security systems, and a heated driveway. Its thoughtfully designed floorplan offers main-level living with 5 en-suite bedrooms, 5.3 bathrooms, 6 fireplaces, two laundry rooms, a 2,600-bottle wine cellar, and heated 3.5-car garage. At the heart of the home is a grand kitchen and great room, with 20-foot ceilings, reclaimed timber beams, and a wall of windows. The kitchen offers custom cabinetry, dual islands, high-end appliances, and a central dining space. Entertaining is effortless with a scullery kitchen and butler's pantry. The four-seasons room, complete with fireplaces and retractable doors, seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite is a sanctuary with dual walk-in closets, a laundry room, and a luxurious bathroom featuring dual vanities, showers, and water closets. The home office, with its own fireplace and access to a private bluestone patio, provides a quiet retreat. A separate family/guest wing offers convenience with its own laundry room and easy access to the mudroom and garage. The lower level includes a media/rec room, guest suite, exercise room, music room, wine cellar, plus abundant storage. Outdoors, enjoy a sprawling bluestone patio with multiple seating areas, a built-in Wolf grill, Sub-Zero fridge, stone fireplace, and room for a future pool or other amenities. This is luxury living at its finest. Words do not do justice to the craftsmanship of this property. Priced below today's replacement cost.
