Situated on one of the most desirable locations on the North Shore, this private residence was renovated and expanded for resort style living on a rarely found 1.5 acre lakefront setting. Picturesque and breathtaking, the home was designed with large windows to enjoy views of Lake Michigan from almost every room. Wooden stairs and a lift offer access to a one-of-a-kind elevated beach. The complete bluff restoration was extensively engineered to prevent erosion and create the protected raised beach. The chef's kitchen blends efficiency and beauty. Exposed brick, two large islands, recessed ceiling, high-end stainless appliances, and uniquely decorative lighting are only some of the features this kitchen enjoys. The graciously sized first floor master suite has a vaulted ceiling, handsome fireplace and large windows that allow for ample natural light and calming lake views. The spa-like bath is truly remarkable with a whirlpool, over-sized steam shower, and granite dual vanities. A 38-foot long indoor lap pool with full bathroom and laundry, six fireplaces, second master suite upstairs, and finished English lower level are among the outstanding features of this stunning home. The grounds were thoughtfully renovated to include a banquet-sized stone terrace, second stone patio with outdoor fireplace, and new landscaping throughout with beautiful perennial gardens and full irrigation system. This estate allows one to live and vacation at home.

Introducing a historic modernist ranch-style residence on the market for the very first time. Poised on just under eight private wooded acres adjacent to the prestigious Shoreacres Golf Course with incredible grounds and flowering gardens, this meticulously maintained single-owner home was built in 1978 and designed by John Black Lee Associates, a respected mid-century modern architect and proponent of the Glass House School of modern residential architecture from Marcel Breuer and Philip C. Johnson. With a large solarium serving as its centerpiece, this 4,286 square-foot architectural masterpiece is defined by strong indoor-outdoor connection created by open flowing spaces, volume ceilings, skylights, abundant walls of glass and sliding doors leading to the stunning natural surroundings. The original architectural details shine, including the floor-to-ceiling marble fireplaces in the living, family room and primary suite, herringbone-patterned brick flooring and incredible tall interior wood doors. A gracious family room with wet bar, dining room and living room are bathed in natural light, offering multiple options for entertaining. The original, sunny kitchen has skylights, a built-in banquette, and sliding doors to the outside allowing easy access for alfresco dining on one of the many patios. The primary suite has a floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry, a wall of sliding glass doors leading to the west patio, striking hardwood flooring, walls of closets and private bath. The floor plan provides nice flexibility as the east bedroom suite also has a kitchenette and could serve as a guest room, in-law suite or staff quarters, and the family room space could function as a fourth bedroom or guest suite with a large walk-in closet and full bathroom. A first-floor laundry room, large unfinished basement and attached two car heated garage complete the floorplan. Walking the magical grounds, you'll feel as if you are living in a Monet painting with fountains and courtyards, a sweeping lawn shielded by mature trees, a ravine, bridge to the gazebo, and walking paths through immaculate botanical gardens that bloom year-round. Even with its seclusion and privacy, this residence is only minutes from charming downtown Lake Bluff. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a Shoreacres Country Club original!
