Description

Located just a few blocks from the shores of Lake Michigan, this custom-designed Mid-Century Modern home is a true masterpiece. Renowned interior designer Soledad Zitzewitz has transformed this residence, bringing a refined Mid-Century Manhattan Chic aesthetic to the heart of the Midwest. Primarily designed as a sprawling ranch, this home offers unparalleled convenience with the primary bedroom retreat and expansive living spaces all on the main level. Upon entering the stunning foyer, you'll be captivated by soaring 10-foot ceilings, skylights, and exquisite travertine stone floors with marble inlays. The gracious living room features a cozy fireplace, built-in shelving, and seamless access to the outdoor patio. It flows effortlessly into the stately dining room, which comfortably seats 12-ideal for hosting large gatherings and elegant dinners. The newly renovated eat-in kitchen is bright and beautiful and showcases lacquered custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and sleek new hardware. It opens to the inviting family room, where a vaulted ceiling and striking three-sided fireplace create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. The private primary suite is a true retreat, complete with an ante room and a handsome library, also featuring its own fireplace. The luxurious bedroom and spa-like bath offer the perfect sanctuary, while an additional adjacent room provides flexibility as an office, nursery, or sitting room. An additional ensuite guest bedroom with a remodeled bath is also conveniently located on the main level. This home also features two ensuite bedrooms which share a loft space on the second floor, each with its own private balcony, offering scenic views. The finished lower level provides ample space for relaxation and recreation, with a spacious recreation room, a fifth bedroom, a full bath, and generous storage options. Outside, the home boasts four distinct outdoor patios, each surrounded by lush, forested landscaping, offering peaceful, private retreats. Guarding the home are two life-sized bear sculptures by renowned Colorado artist John Kessler, adding a unique artistic touch to the tranquil surroundings. Set in a private and coveted East Lake Forest location, this home offers a rare combination of style, comfort, and convenience. The meticulously selected designer furnishings, tailored specifically for this home, are available for negotiation as part of the sale.
