The finished lower level adds exceptional versatility with additional bedrooms, recreation areas, and fitness space. Outdoors, the professionally landscaped grounds offer tranquil pond views, mature trees, and ample room for outdoor entertaining, recreation, or future enhancements. A 4-car garage, generous storage, and thoughtful layout throughout complete this remarkable offering. Ideally located near Lake Forest's top schools, charming downtown, Metra, and Lake Michigan, this estate presents a rare opportunity to own a private, multi-generational property in a premier North Shore location.
