A Timeless Masterpiece in East Lake Forest Nestled in the prestigious Onwentsia Gardens neighborhood, this exceptional residence effortlessly blends classic luxury with modern sophistication. As you approach the home via the sweeping circular driveway, the meticulously landscaped grounds and the elegant blue stone walkway lead you to a gracious front porch, setting the tone for the grandeur that awaits within. Upon entering, the expansive foyer warmly welcomes you into a thoughtfully designed traditional floorplan, featuring stunning hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout both the main and second levels. The formal living room exudes timeless charm, boasting crown molding, a bay window that invites natural light to cascade through the space, and generous proportions that offer ample room for both intimate gatherings and lavish entertaining. French doors open to the formal dining room, where a striking new chandelier and oversized windows continue the theme of light-filled elegance. The kitchen, undeniably the heart of the home, is a culinary masterpiece. Equipped with top-of-the-line Viking stainless steel appliances, a grand island perfect for both preparation and serving, and custom cabinetry, this kitchen is as functional as it is stunning. The adjacent breakfast area provides an inviting space for casual dining and effortlessly flows into the spacious family room. The family room, anchored by a magnificent gas fireplace, offers direct access to the back patio, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Adjacent to the kitchen, the sun-drenched sunroom, framed by two full walls of windows, is the ultimate sanctuary for relaxation and peace. A main-floor office, enclosed by elegant glass French doors, offers a private workspace or can serve as an additional den. Just steps away, a full bath adds an extra layer of convenience. The expansive laundry/mudroom off the garage is both practical and beautifully designed for ultimate storage and organization. The second floor presents an opulent primary suite, featuring plantation shutters, dual ceiling fans, and exquisite custom millwork. The spa-inspired en suite bath offers a dual vanity, a separate soaking tub, and a multi-feature walk-in shower, while the professionally organized walk-in closet ensures ample space for even the most discerning wardrobe. Three additional bedrooms, each with hardwood floors and plantation shutters, offer both comfort and privacy. The well-appointed hall bath features a double vanity and a separate tub/shower area, combining style with functionality.

This home's unparalleled comfort is further enhanced by dual-zone heating and cooling, two water heaters, and a whole-house generator which provides peace of mind year-round. Step outside to experience an outdoor oasis, where a multi-level blue stone paver patio with a firepit, outdoor bar area, and built-in grilling space beckons for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The lush, mature landscaping creates a serene and private backdrop for this extraordinary outdoor retreat.
