Say "YES!" to the address! Distinctive stone pillars alert you to the lane that is your portal to this stunning and sophisticated property in East Lake Forest. Convenient to town, the Lake, Sheridan Elementary School and Lake Forest High School, the setting for this soaring, custom-built home is visionary. Never before on the market, this one-owner home embodies a rare and special vibe, one that celebrates light and space in ways that create a dramatic gallery-like aura. The one-acre property is private and secluded, yet in the heart of everything you love about East Lake Forest. Available for the first time, this unique, open, and sun-filled home will capture your heart and your imagination! The 2-story foyer and living room offer huge windows with views of the yard, a fireplace, and endless walls for your art and treasures; the newly-refinished mahogany hardwood floors glisten throughout. The kitchen is large and spectacular, with a walk-in pantry and a spacious eating area that opens to the stone patio and yard. The dining room flows wonderfully into the family room, again with huge windows, captivating views, and a fireplace. If you desire a first floor primary suite, your architect can likely envision creating one here, where other main floor rooms include a spacious office, a potential 5th bedroom with a powder room nearby, plus an enclosed porch, a second foyer and a full bathroom. Upstairs, the existing Primary Suite has a spacious bath with tub and a shower, plus two closets and access to the adjoining attic. There is another bedroom suite with tub and shower, plus two generous bedrooms which share a hall bath. The second floor also has a well-apportioned laundry room. The basement is large and un-finished, highlighted by a deeper-pour section that includes a 24' x 40' finished room (under the three-car garage). That room is currently being used for storage and will not be shown on first showings. There are two staircases from the basement to the second floor, a first-floor mudroom, and an attached 3-car garage. The yard is wooded, secluded and magical, beginning with a labyrinth in the southeast corner of the yard. A walled, stone patio is off the kitchen eating area and there is a kidney-shaped swimming pool that has not been used in recent years. The property is being sold in an estate, to be conveyed "as is"; garden statuary is excluded. Come envision your life in this unique home and enchanting setting!
