A rare Lake Forest offering. Ideally situated just steps from Lake Michigan and the heart of town, this exceptional custom-built all-brick residence offers a remarkable blend of architectural integrity, refined craftsmanship and effortless livability. Set on a beautifully scaled one acre site, the 6,952 square foot home was designed and built in 2002 with an appreciation for enduring quality and timeless style.

The elegant interiors are complemented by an exceptional kitchen featuring custom cabinetry imported from England, creating a sophisticated yet inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. A private handsome wood paneled library with fireplace provides a very private office space.

    "Lake Forest is a dream town to live in. The schools and activities are excellent. The only downside is that one must have a lot of money to buy a home here, and children can be overly indulged. The town is beautiful and safe, but it does not have much diversity. Education and sports are top priorities."
