Nestled on a sprawling 2.48-acre lakefront property within the historic McCormick/Rockefeller Villa Sul Lago estate, this remarkable residence offers timeless elegance and unparalleled amenities. The meticulously landscaped grounds feature the original, restored tea house, affectionately known as the "Sound of Music" Gazebo, along with a charming pool house that feels like a private retreat, complete with a studio-style great room, renovated kitchen, pool, and Jacuzzi. The main home is a grand, custom-built brick Georgian masterpiece with 7 bedrooms and 7.3 bathrooms. Upon entry, guests are greeted by a breathtaking double bridal staircase and an arched entrance leading into a grand great room, anchored by an elegant paneled office and a newly expanded chef's kitchen and breakfast area-all with stunning eastern views of the estate and lake. Flanking the foyer are formal living and dining rooms connected by a spectacular arched gallery hallway. The second floor boasts an exquisite master suite with a newly remodeled spa-like bathroom, walk-in closet, sauna, expansive glass shower, and a Jacuzzi. Five additional bedroom suites, a convenient laundry room, and a cozy family room complete the upper level. The newly finished walkout English basement is designed for relaxation and entertainment, featuring a spacious family/recreation/exercise room, a card room with a bar and wine cooler, and ample storage. With two double garages (four indoor spaces total), a first-floor guest suite, and breathtaking lake views, this exceptional estate is ready to become your haven for spectacular sunrise views each morning.
