Property Description

Privately set behind a gated entrance on over 1.3 professionally landscaped acres, this exceptional Highland Park stone and brick estate offers approximately 9,600 square feet of beautifully appointed living space, an attached four-car heated garage, and a rare sense of privacy surrounded by the natural beauty of Chicago's North Shore. Thoughtfully designed to live like a ranch with a luxurious first-floor primary suite, the home offers ultimate flexibility for a variety of lifestyles while still providing exceptional space for family and guests. Designed for both elevated entertaining and effortless everyday living, the home features a spectacular chef's kitchen completely reimagined in 2023 with custom black cabinetry, marble countertops, a dedicated coffee center, two dishwashers, and a striking glass-enclosed, temperature-controlled wine cellar display that creates a dramatic architectural focal point. An expansive accordion door system opens seamlessly to the full-length paved terrace and grounds beyond, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor connection. The dramatic great room is defined by soaring ceilings, walls of windows, and an impressive double-sided fireplace, while the adjacent family room provides an inviting setting for more relaxed living. The main-level primary suite is a true private retreat, complete with a sitting room, fireplace, wet bar, and serene views of the property. Upstairs, five additional en-suite bedrooms provide exceptional accommodations for family and guests, complemented by an extraordinary 52-by-22-foot bonus room offering endless possibilities. The expansive lower level is designed for recreation and wellness with a private home theater, fully equipped gym, sauna, wet bar with kegerator, and full bath. Recent improvements include a new roof, gutters, and downspouts in 2024, newer HVAC systems, a rebuilt staircase, and a remodeled mudroom with heated floors. Directly behind the property, the forest preserve provides a breathtaking natural backdrop with direct access to a walking path, while dramatic western exposures capture spectacular sunsets across the grounds. Ideally positioned between downtown Highland Park and Deerfield with convenient highway access, owners of this exceptional estate have the unique option to attend either award-winning Highland Park High School or Deerfield High School-an extraordinary advantage within this coveted North Shore setting.
