Originally designed by Jerome Cerny, this timeless, sprawling cape cod home has been renovated and updated for today's buyer. Nestled down a private lane, this amazing 2+ acre property features a gorgeous pool and terrace, lush landscaping on a ravine setting and separate coach house. Set far back from the road, the first floor of this wonderful home features a lovely entry which leads into the spacious and bright living room with fireplace, overlooking the backyard gardens and pool. The separate formal dining room with French doors to the living room as well as easy access to the kitchen is ideal for holiday gatherings or large dinner parties. Daily life is sure to center around the open-concept kitchen and adjoining family room with vaulted ceiling and cozy fireplace. The kitchen is a cook's dream with top of the line appliances, abundant white custom cabinetry and huge island with breakfast bar. A coveted three season screened porch is located just off the breakfast room and is the perfect place to relax with your morning coffee. Two en-suite bedrooms on the main level include the primary suite with walk-in closet and luxurious bath overlooking the manicured yard. There are dual vanities, large walk-in shower plus a soaking tub for endless hours of relaxation. An office/study with wet bar, additional full bath, laundry and mudroom with access to the 3 car garage complete the 1st floor. Upstairs you will find a charming loft with built-ins and two more en-suite bedrooms with incredible walk-in closets. Downstairs, the basement offers an additional laundry room, rec room, possible 5th bedroom and full bath. A wonderful and unique feature of the property is a charming separate coach house designed by David Adler which features a great room with vaulted beamed ceilings, a cozy kitchen, bedroom and 2 full baths as well as basement with laundry area. Lake breezes can be enjoyed by the pool and terrace overlooking the neighboring ravines. This is a rare offering in a truly special setting. Just moments from Lake Forest beach as well as town and train.
