Smart-home technology is seamlessly integrated throughout, including Lutron Caseta lighting, Sonos surround sound and built-in speakers, and motorized Hunter Douglas window shades. Every detail has been considered, including modern HVAC registers, contemporary outlets with USB-A/C charging ports, and sleek screwless switch plates. Ascend the custom white oak staircase to the second floor, where beautifully appointed bedrooms feature custom wall paneling, spacious closets, extra-wide French doors, and 2 gorgeous bathrooms outfitted with Kohler fixtures. The primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet and a luxurious walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile. The lower level provides exceptional functionality with a new washer and dryer, floating laundry folding cabinet, abundant additional storage, and an epoxy-floored attached two-car garage. Nothing has been overlooked in this extraordinary renovation. Sophisticated, stylish, and exceptionally well executed, this is an effortless way of life in one of the North Shore's most special settings. Living in Fort Sheridan is truly paradise-nestled along Lake Michigan and surrounded by ravines, preserves, and natural beauty.
