Incredible 1.31-acre lakefront property featuring a private beach, dramatic ravines & breathtaking views at every turn. Wonderfully secluded, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy lakefront living in the heart of beautiful East Lake Bluff.

The open floor plan offers a stunning vaulted-ceiling living room, gracious foyer, elegant dining room, & a family room that flows seamlessly into the Downsview-designed gourmet kitchen-all capturing spectacular lake views. The main level also includes a mud/laundry room, powder room, & full bath for added convenience. The primary suite is a true retreat, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking both the lake & ravines, a beautiful fireplace, separate his-and-her baths & generous walk-in closets. Two additional oversized bedrooms & a hall bath complete the second floor. The finished lower level has a rec room, great storage,& a full bath. Other special features include heated walnut floors throughout, 3 fireplaces, a beautiful open staircase & a generator. The professionally landscaped grounds are stunning, with incredible hardscaping, a winding path leading to a lakeside deck-the perfect setting for alfresco dining-and a private ravine path that descends to your own beach. An extraordinary property offering unmatched privacy & an unparalleled Lake Bluff lifestyle.
