Accross from a picturesque park, this designer-owned home is a rare and remarkable find - ideal as either a full-time residence or a sophisticated pied-a-terre. Meticulously renovated for effortless living, it offers 4,000 square feet of finished space (including lower level) designed for beauty, comfort, and low maintenance. Recipient of the 2025 Lake Forest Historic Preservation Award, this home seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with modern sophistication. Every detail reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and elegant design. Step through a gracious foyer adorned with hand-painted walls, arched doorways, and gleaming floors. The charming living room, perfect for both entertaining and quiet evenings, features a stunning fireplace, lacquered walls, and a custom bar with a wine fridge and refrigerated drawers. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece, appointed with top-of-the-line appliances, sleek marble countertops, Katonah hardware, and abundant storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room exudes warmth with its bay window, silk wallpaper with hand-painted accents, a sparkling chandelier, and antique sconces.

An adjoining office, surrounded by windows, provides a serene and inspiring workspace. The primary suite embodies understated luxury with built-in wardrobes and a spa-like bath. Three additional bedrooms are bright and inviting, sharing two well-appointed baths with elegant finishes. On the lower level, fine details continue - a spacious recreation room boasts a marble-surround fireplace, plush wool carpeting, and custom cabinetry with dual beverage refrigerators. A stylish bath, a second laundry room, and abundant storage complete this level. Step outside to beautifully landscaped grounds enhanced by new lighting, a fenced yard for privacy, and bluestone patios ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Additional Features include heated bathroom floors, integrated sound system with invisible speakers, heated garage with epoxied floors and whole-house generator for peace of mind.
