A true private resort set on two beautifully landscaped acres, this extraordinary coastal-inspired estate offers a lifestyle rarely found on Chicago's North Shore. Designed as the ultimate retreat for both relaxation and entertaining, the property centers around a breathtaking outdoor oasis featuring a sparkling saltwater swimming pool, hot tub, expansive terraces, and a serene stocked pond where afternoons can be spent fishing from your own yard. Whether hosting large gatherings, enjoying summer pool parties, or simply unwinding while taking in the peaceful water views, every element of this property has been thoughtfully crafted to elevate everyday living. Built in 2008 to exceptional standards, the home seamlessly blends timeless architecture with modern luxury. A welcoming wraparound porch, screened porch, and multiple outdoor entertaining areas create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Inside, soaring ceilings, exquisite millwork, rich hardwood floors, extensive custom built-ins, six masonry fireplaces, and a dramatic circular staircase showcase the home's remarkable craftsmanship. The grand foyer opens to elegant formal living and dining rooms before drawing your eye through the home to the spectacular family room, where a coffered ceiling, fireplace, and walls of custom bookcases create a warm yet impressive gathering space. Tucked away for privacy, the richly paneled library offers a sophisticated retreat complete with a fireplace, coffered ceiling, and direct access to the rear grounds. At the heart of the home is an exceptional chef's kitchen designed to accommodate everything from intimate family dinners to large-scale entertaining. Custom cabinetry, granite countertops, premium appliances, an oversized center island, and an expansive walk-in pantry are complemented by a charming hearth room, beverage station, and generous butler's pantry. Five spacious en-suite bedrooms provide exceptional comfort and privacy, including a luxurious primary suite that feels like a private spa retreat. The suite features a fireplace, sitting room with balcony access, an enormous walk-in closet, and a sun-filled marble bath complete with dual vanities, heated floors, a freestanding jetted tub, steam shower, and multiple body sprays. The walk-out lower level is an entertainer's dream, offering endless possibilities for recreation and hosting and includes a full bar, billiards room, two expansive recreation areas, a guest suite, 1.5 baths, and a second full kitchen. Additional highlights include a Crestron Sound System throughout the home and outdoors, a well-designed mudroom with adjacent storage room, and an attached three-car garage. Offering the rare combination of luxury, privacy, recreation, and resort-style amenities, this remarkable estate delivers a year-round vacation lifestyle just minutes from Metra, restaurants, and shopping.
