About this home
Welcome to this rare Lake Forest treasure, designed in 1966 by acclaimed local architect, Balfour Lanza, one of his standout works, blending Mid-century modern elegance with serene, wooded surroundings. Brick and cedar facade, low-slung profiles and striking roof angles exemplify Lanza's aesthetic. Floor to ceiling windows throughout create an open atmosphere and visually extend living spaces into the natural landscape. Original finishes include many special features, including exposed brick walls, bluestone slate floors and mahogany woodwork with tongue and groove paneling and custom cabinetry. Modern updates in the kitchen and baths were executed seamlessly to honor the home's original vision. The stunning vaulted living room with fireplace is a great place to entertain, and opens out to the bluestone terrace and expansive yard. Just off the living room is the separate dining room, also with access to the patio and yard. The recently updated chef-inspired kitchen has sleek custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, breakfast bar area with 2nd sink and eating area. The kitchen opens into the family room, surrounded by windows overlooking the beautiful yard with the terrace providing access from all of the main 1st floor rooms creating an incredible flow for entertaining. A warm, inviting fireplace connects the family room to the library. A recently updated mudroom/laundry and powder room complete the 1st floor. On the 2nd floor you will find the primary suite. This wing includes a vaulted bedroom with a unique blending of glass window walls, a separate sitting room with fireplace, currently used as an office, and a private bath. There are three more bedrooms on this level that share an all new hall bath with large separate shower and double sink. The lower level features a large Rec Room with fireplace and above grade windows to let in tons of natural light. Stunning brick archways welcome you into this space which also includes a wet bar with copper sink, Billiard Room, 1/2 bath and ample storage. The 3 car plus heated garage includes a fabulous wall of storage. Outside, there are multiple terraces and patio zones, ideal for indoor-outdoor enjoyment. This very special home has been beautifully restored, thoughtfully updated, and is perfectly situated within one of Lake Forest's most storied green enclaves.
