Now ready for immediate occupancy, this stunning home in a fairy tale setting has the most spectacular outdoor spaces and swimming pool anyone could wish for! The pool is open for family fun and entertaining and the privacy abounds, even though you are within easy walking distance to everything that makes the Village of Lake Bluff so special, like Sunday Bluffinia Concerts on the Village Green, summertime Block Parties, the famed Lake Bluff Fourth of July Parade, the Criterium Bike Race, Halloween Happenings and so much more fun year-round! Located only minutes from Lake Forest High School, on a secluded cul de sac, only 2 homes from Lake Michigan, this newer English Country home appears to have been there for generations. Perfectly set on its spectacular 1.4-acre ravine property, with a walk-out, finished lower level and a 4-car garage, it's a rare find in the heart of East Lake Bluff! Built by noted architect and builder Rick Swanson for the current owners in 2001, it combines the classicism and craftsmanship of an older North Shore estate with the modern technology and lower maintenance of newer construction. Its setting is unique, featuring multi-level lawn and garden areas accented by beautiful stone garden walls, blue stone patios and stunning swimming pool in its very private back yard. This 7,418 square foot home features 5+ bedrooms; 7.1 baths; 6 fireplaces; 10-foot ceilings on the first floor and 9-foot ceilings on the second floor; an attached greenhouse; and an attached heated 4-car garage. An elegant first floor bedroom suite can be a second primary suite, or a lovely guest suite. The Bonus Room on the second floor can be a 6th bedroom. The walkout basement features a game area, a huge Rec Room and with a large bar / kitchenette and fireplace, a spacious exercise room, a full bath and multiple storage rooms, opening to a private patio area overlooking a ravine.
