Situated on a tranquil cul-de-sac just off the shores of Lake Michigan, in Highland Park's prestigious and historically rich Fort Sheridan neighborhood, this architectural masterpiece by renowned architect Samuel G. Footlik seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with sophisticated modern updates-just steps from the lakefront, scenic trails, and pristine beaches. A grand foyer with a sweeping curved staircase, crystal chandelier, and intricate ceiling moldings introduces the home's refined elegance. Graciously proportioned living and dining rooms provide ideal settings for entertaining, while a richly paneled office offers warmth and distinction. The breathtaking great room features soaring ceilings, custom built-ins, a stately fireplace, and a wall of windows that flood the space with natural light and frame tranquil lake views. The chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece, boasting Brookhaven cabinetry, quartz countertops, top-tier appliances, and an inviting breakfast and sitting area that opens to an expansive terrace-perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The main level also includes an en-suite bedroom, mudroom, and a heated three-and-a-half-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary of serenity with dual organized walk-in closets, a private dressing area, spa-like marble bath, and access to a spacious deck. Four additional en-suite bedrooms provide comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. The fully finished lower level offers a complete entertainment experience with a full bar, secondary kitchen, billiards area, home gym or office, media space, and guest suite-all flowing to a wraparound patio and firepit for memorable gatherings. The lush, professionally landscaped yard, with its manicured lawn and brick-paved entertaining spaces, creates a private outdoor oasis. Enhanced by over $500,000 in recent upgrades-including all renovated bathrooms, updated kitchen, refinished hardwood floors, freshly painted interiors, and a custom glass elevator servicing all levels-this home epitomizes timeless luxury and modern livability, minutes from downtown Highland Park, Lake Forest, and Highwood's vibrant restaurant scene along with Ravinia Music Festival and Chicago Botanic Gardens.
