Property Description

Poised on a 1.2-acre lot just one block from the shores of Lake Michigan, this beautiful residence offers exceptional space, stately construction, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Offering over 6,600 square feet plus a finished lower level, the home welcomes you with a dramatic two-story foyer and a gracious, well-designed floor plan that is both grand and inviting. The updated kitchen is beautifully designed with Viking appliances and a built-in Miele coffee system, complemented by a large center island and walk-in pantry. Ideally positioned between the family and dining rooms, the kitchen connects easily to the family room, where a wall of windows and doors frames serene backyard views and fills the space with beautiful southern light. A wet bar further elevates the space, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Formal living and dining rooms offer elegant gathering spaces, while the all-season sunroom provides an inviting place to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape year-round. The main level also includes a private office with outdoor access, a first-floor laundry room, a hidden nook, and both front and back staircases. Four fireplaces throughout the home add warmth and character. Upstairs, bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully arranged with en-suite or Jack-and-Jill baths, offering comfort and privacy. A large attic provides incredible potential for future space or a fifth bedroom, while also offering exceptional storage. The finished lower level is designed for recreation and entertaining with a built-in bar, climate-controlled wine cellar, and movie theater setup, along with extensive storage. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a private oasis featuring bluestone patios, an in-ground pool, and a fire pit, creating the perfect setting for summer entertainment. The home offers a total of five garage spaces, including a three-car-attached garage and an additional attached two-car garage with vaulted ceilings and a loft-perfectly suited for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or a future golf simulator. Located just moments from Lake Michigan access, Metra, Market Square, restaurants, and downtown Lake Forest, this home offers a rare combination of space, quality, and lifestyle. Grand in scale yet warm and inviting, 468 Circle Lane is a home defined by enduring quality and timeless appeal.
