Showings start May 18th. Located on one of the coveted streets in Lake Forest, this special home designed by noted architect, Robert Seyfarth is walking distance to Sheridan School, Lake Forest High School, Market Square and one block from Lake Michigan. This home is the perfect blend between classic styling and yet very adaptable to the needs of today's modern living! The gracious living room easily handles two seating areas, one which surrounds the fireplace. The foyer, dining room and living room, all open to the screened porch overlooking the lap pool and the bluestone patio set up to enjoy the south west exposure, perfect for entertaining on warm summer nights. Adjacent to the living room is a sumptuous den that benefits from a fireplace, making it an ideal place to gather the family or escape to read a yummy novel. The generous dining room with its boxed bay window easily allows for two seating areas. A custom wall covering depicts scenes from early American farm life. An expansive butlers pantry has a dishwasher, two Sub Zero refrigerator drawers, and an ice maker. The china storage is amazing! The entrance to the Kitchen Family Room is flanked by concealed deep pantry closets, a mud room with a Dutch door, perfect for a wet dog, as well as an informal powder room. The kitchen was previously renovated and expanded to include a spacious island with breakfast bar, gourmet appliances, table space seating for 8 and a seating area complete with window seats surrounding the fireplace with lavender delft tiles. Two doors open to the patio and the organic vegetable garden. The second floor primary bedroom presently is in a wing unto itself, including a charming sitting room with access to the new Trex rooftop deck above the screen porch, a perfect place for the home office. Two separate dressing and bathrooms which share a common shower, and are completed by a secondary stackable laundry as well. The bedroom is comfortable with the 4th fireplace, plantation shutters throughout the suite. Four additional family bedrooms each with their own baths make up the balance of the second floor. An additional laundry room and an entrance to the walk up floored attic complete the floor. A storage room and 3rd laundry are in the basement, reached through the two car garage. The yard and parking court were designed by Craig Bergmann, and include an organic veggie garden and were designed to be low maintenance. All windows had been replaced with thermal panes, new boiler, new dishwasher, new wine refrigerator, 3 new bathroom renovations, new Trex decking, and a new bluestone walk to the pool.
