Introducing one of the most iconic homes in east Glenview. This Doug Reynolds, impeccably designed limestone French Manor is situated Glenayre Park on over an acre of lush landscape. The estate was built with the finest materials, as one would expect in a home of this exceptional caliber. The grand circular drive leads to a six-car carport with stone wall details, adding another level of architectural beauty. Enter through the custom limestone-covered entry through the pristine mahogany double doors and you find yourself in an elegant, expansive French limestone foyer with views into the great room and a peek into the spectacular grounds. Adjacent, are both the library with wine room and formal dining room with floor to ceiling windows with decorative transoms. The dramatic and perfectly scaled Great Room is breathtaking as you step down and take in the spectacular coffered barrel ceiling, which showcases a jaw dropping Ebanista Rock Crystal chandelier. Stunning arched transoms over double French doors lead to a blue stone patio. A custom limestone fireplace provides the perfect finish to the room. A luxe white & walnut kitchen featuring high-end Wood Mode cabinets with Sub-Zero, Viking, and Fisher Paykel appliances. The island is the centerpiece to the room and features rare honed dark marble with Carrara marble accents. The perimeter countertops and backsplash are Carrara marble. The kitchen is open to an intimate breakfast room that overlooks the patio and grounds, a family room with access to a bluestone screened porch with fireplace, a butler's pantry, a second staircase and an auxiliary entrance with mudroom. Made for entertaining, the layout of home is perfection. The main floor primary suite is very private and feels like a five-star hotel. A carved marble fireplace, stunning light fixtures and French doors that lead to the patio create an enclave you may never want to leave. Also included is an adjacent room for nursery/work out/office. The spa inspired bath leaves nothing to be desired, including a private room for the freestanding tub and to finish off the five-star experience, the massive, elegantly appointed walk-in closet is one that would make Carrie Bradshaw envious. The first floor also includes a secondary entrance with large mudroom, laundry room, two powder rooms and three-car heated garage w hot/cold h20. The classic staircase off of the entry leads to the second level and features four bedrooms, one ensuite and the other with a Jack & Jill bath. A second large family room provides an alternative get-away. Secondary staircase will lead you down to access the lower level which provides an additional 3725 square feet and includes a game room, a family room with wet bar/beverage refrigerator, 6th bedroom, a full bath, huge storage and a room that's wired for a home theater. Leaving no detail out, the window wells are stone and allow for beautiful natural light. The meticulously designed mature grounds resemble a beautiful French garden and complete the estate. Perfect space to add a built-in pool and pool house.
