Description

Renowned North Shore landscape architect P. Clifford Miller designed and developed the inspired grounds over fifteen years for his private residence, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a storied East Lake Forest home of exceptional provenance. Set just two blocks from Lake Michigan on nearly an acre, the property features Miller's signature native gardens and a tranquil garden walk meandering through year-round greenery, as featured on many local garden tours through the years. A well-preserved traditional clapboard residence of approximately 4, 000 square feet anchors the .83-acre property. Improvements include a sweeping circular driveway that creates a sense of arrival, a new cedar roof, a thoughtfully updated kitchen, two renovated baths, and several newer mechanicals. Inside, refinished hardwoods, crown molding, and architectural niches infuse timeless character throughout. A classic brick-paved foyer leads to a gracious great room centered on a wood-burning fireplace, where garden views and natural light fill the space. Set behind double doors, a coveted main- level primary suite functions as its own private wing, complete with a skylit ensuite bath, jetted tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. The suite connects to the sunroom and an anteroom that adjoins a flexible room that can easily double as an office, dressing room, nursery, or potential fifth bedroom. Modernized through a timeless lens in 2024, the kitchen blends quartz counters, white cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, a Fisher & Paykel range, and a Bosch dishwasher. A dining room and powder room reside off the kitchen, allowing seamless entertaining flow. Doors from the main living areas open to a classic brick terrace and a fine gravel French courtyard, creating distinct outdoor entertaining spaces. Upstairs, two bedroom wings offer complete privacy for family, guests or an au pair, served by two recently renovated baths. A classic greenhouse, garden shed or playhouse, integrated sprinkler system, attached two-car garage, and 772-square-foot lower level complete this masterwork of North Shore heritage and enduring architectural style.
