Experience the ultimate lakefront lifestyle in this legacy home, perfectly positioned as a full-time residence or second-home retreat, offering 80 feet of private shoreline on spring-fed Lake Zurich, set on a rare nearly three-quarter-acre lot just an hour from downtown Chicago. Lakefront living at its best, featuring a private boat dock with lift, sandy beach, limestone fire pit and patio, and an expansive backyard designed for family gatherings and unforgettable summer entertaining. Sweeping panoramic lake views define this extensively renovated three-level home, where on the main level, French white oak 10-foot plank flooring and newer custom oversized windows flood the interiors with natural light, while a thoughtfully redesigned first floor unfolds through an elegant open plan designed to capture a seamless connection to the water throughout. The kitchen is a true statement in design, appointed with Wood-Mode cabinetry and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a La Cornue range and oven with a 48-inch stainless steel range hood, a Miele combination steam convection oven, and an extraordinary 6'3" x 8'4" Quartz island. A custom 12' x 3'6" sliding window with a 6' clear opening extends directly to a 30-foot-wide deck with incredible lake views, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor setting and a true showplace for entertaining, enhanced by a built-in six-zone wireless HEOS sound system for seamless audio throughout the main living spaces. A custom 16' x 6' picture window with expansive lake views, while the oversized living room with multiple seating areas flows seamlessly into the breakfast lounge and formal dining room, offering exceptional space for relaxed living, effortless gathering, and entertaining. A dramatic two-story foyer with a wall of windows fills the entry with natural light and immediately draws in the surrounding water views. The main level features a fifth bedroom, currently styled as an office, complemented by a full bath for added flexibility and everyday convenience. A one-of-a-kind wine room and bar enriched with reclaimed elements, Chicago brick flooring, built-in custom cabinetry, two wine coolers, custom wine storage, and legacy cabinets, all anchored by an original 12' x 4' Italian hand-painted mural-creating a space layered with craftsmanship, warmth, and old-world charm. The top floor features four bedrooms and two baths, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet, private balcony, and spa-inspired bath with heated floors and a custom glass-enclosed shower measuring 4'3" x 6'9", finished with a river rock decorative base. The lower level is a relaxed, lodge-inspired haven, blending exposed timber beams, custom rustic brick walls and columns, wood doors and trim, designer mid-century ceramic tile flooring, and warm finishes to create an inviting, gathered feel. A gas fireplace with a rustic brick surround and wood accents anchors the space, while built-in cabinetry with a white quartz countertop, generous storage, and a fully updated bath add both function and character. An 8-foot sliding patio door opens to a limestone patio and expansive grounds framed by lush perennial gardens, layered landscaping, limestone walkways, a limestone fire pit seating area connected to the beach, a granite boulder shoreline, and river rock borders. Overlooking the lake with remarkable presence, this three-season room is a striking extension of the home-defined by exposed timber beams, rustic stone detailing, and broad screened exposures that frame the water from nearly every angle. Warm, architectural, and effortlessly inviting-perfect for relaxed mornings and evenings with a view. From morning walks around the three-mile lake path to year-round festivities at Paulus Park, there is always something to enjoy. The Ultimate Lakefront Retreat - designed for every season of waterfront living: boating, swimming, fishing, sailing, water-skiing, ice fishing, and skating.
