Home Details for 1175 Edgewood Road

Say "YES!" to the address! Elegant stone pillars alert you to the lane that is your portal to this stunning and magical property in East Lake Forest. Convenient to town, the Lake, Sheridan Elementary School and Lake Forest High School, the setting for this soaring, custom-built home is visionary. Built in 1959 and dramatically expanded and re-built by the current owners in 2003, the property is private and secluded, yet in the heart of everything you love about East Lake Forest. Never before on the market, this unique, open, and sun-filled home will capture your heart and your imagination! The 2-story foyer and living room offer huge windows with views of the yard, a fireplace, and endless walls for your art and decor; the newly-refinished mahogany hardwood floors glisten throughout. The kitchen is large and spectacular, with a walk-in pantry and a spacious eating area that opens to the stone patio and yard. The dining room flows wonderfully into the family room, again with huge windows, captivating views, and a fireplace. Other main floor rooms include a spacious office, a potential 5th bedroom with a powder room nearby, plus an enclosed porch, a second foyer and a full bathroom. Upstairs, the Primary Suite has a spacious bath with tub and a shower, plus two closets. There is another bedroom suite with tub and shower, plus two generous bedrooms which share a hall bath. The second floor also has a well-apportioned laundry room; unfinished attic space adjoins the Primary Bath. The basement is full and mainly un-finished, highlighted by a deeper-pour section that includes a 24' x 40' room (under the three-car garage) that has intriguing possibilities -- a rec room, storage, or for other creative uses? NOTE: basement is being used for storage so has not been photographed; see floorplan. There are two staircases from the basement to the second floor, to serve all areas easily, a first-floor mudroom, and an attached 3-car garage. The yard is wooded, secluded and magical, beginning with a labyrinth in the southeast corner of the yard. A walled, stone patio is off the kitchen eating area and there is a kidney-shaped swimming pool that has not been used in recent years. The property is being sold in an estate, to be conveyed "as is"; garden statuary is excluded. Come envision your life in this unique home and enchanting setting!
