Experience a secluded retreat in a stunning ravine setting. This property offers magnificent views across the McCormick Ravine, with tails and access to a small beach along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Enjoy the peace and privacy of this unique location, with no neighboring homes in sight. The natural beauty of the ravine creates a serene backdrop, making this a truly exceptional setting. The first floor features a luxurious primary suite with separate his-and-hers bathrooms, a spacious living room with breathtaking ravine views, a formal dining room, a home office, a second en-suite bedroom, and a bright eat-in kitchen. A "central command" mudroom offers convenience and functionality. Upstairs, you'll find a third bedroom, a full bath, and an additional versatile room that can serve as a second office, playroom, or game room. The property includes a three-car garage with an epoxy-coated floor, a beautifully landscaped front yard with a perennial garden, and a ravine-edge patio perfect for outdoor relaxation. Situated on 1.24 acres of tableland, this property offers ample space and privacy. The ravine, entirely owned and maintained by the Lake Forest Open Lands Association, was recently restored, ensuring the natural surroundings remain pristine.
