Located in Lake Forest, IL  •  Web ID: UCEZ
Situated on one of Lake Forest ’s most beautiful streets, is a 1929 English Country Estate built by noted architect Edwin Hill Clark. Boasting 3.4 lush acres and a tennis court, this residence is a magnificent family home. Warm and inviting, the spacious foyer features a beamed ceiling, limestone flooring, a gracious staircase and French doors leading to the beautiful terrace. A formal powder room with a cloak room also adorns this space.

The perfect room for large gatherings, the living room features a beautiful fireplace, a huge bay window flooding the room with natural light and a handmade plaster ceiling designed after the traditional Tudor ceilings.

Open from the beautiful dining room is the well-appointed butler’s pantry leading to the oversized kitchen, both of which have been designed and built by Christopher Peacock. This room boasts extraordinary tile-work, cabinetry and use of space. Professional appliances include a side-by-side Sub Zero refrigerator, two Miele dishwashers, a 60-inch stove with two full size ovens plus two additional ovens. A separate wet bar with an ice maker, wine cooler and Sub Zero drawers are also featured in this chef’s kitchen.
Adjoining the kitchen, the newly added great room is complemented by a soaring cathedral ceiling, a huge stone fireplace, custom built-in cabinetry and a breakfast bar area looking into the kitchen. A wonderful media room is featured below the great room space.

The first level also features a handsome library that has built-in cabinetry, a bay window and a fireplace. Great for added entertaining space, the sunroom has access to the terrace, limestone arched windows on three sides and picturesque views of the front, back and side yards.

The second level has five bedrooms along with five recently remodeled bathrooms. Highlights of the master bedroom include a vaulted ceiling, built-ins and three exposures. Huge walk-in closets have custom-designed storage including huge center island. An exercise room is also located on the second floor.
