Thoughtfully designed with multiple gathering spaces, vaulted ceilings, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, the layout unfolds beautifully from room to room, balancing openness with intimate areas for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the entry, inviting living and dining spaces set the tone with warmth and character, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that creates an ideal setting for both quiet evenings and memorable gatherings. The heart of the home is the beautifully upgraded kitchen, featuring hand-built custom cabinetry with unique pullouts and specialized storage, granite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a professional-style cooktop with island range hood. Designed with both function and flow in mind, the kitchen connects seamlessly to surrounding living and dining areas, making it perfect for hosting or daily life. The dramatic two-story great room is both impressive and welcoming, highlighted by expansive windows that frame views of the serene backyard and gardens beyond. Gleaming hardwood floors extend into an additional dining and gathering space, anchored by a second fireplace, offering flexibility for entertaining on any scale. Upstairs, the loft-style primary suite offers a wide-open feel with a walk-in closet and striking floor-to-ceiling three-way mirrors. The remodeled spa-inspired bathroom features a luxurious stone resin slipper tub and a separate rainfall shower enhanced with six invigorating body jets, creating a serene, retreat-like experience. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share the second level, along with a rarely found upstairs laundry room complete with a slop sink for added convenience. An adjacent private loft office provides a quiet and inspiring retreat, perfectly suited for working from home or creative endeavors. The sunroom is a true highlight-an airy, light-filled retreat overlooking the lush grounds-ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the changing seasons while remaining immersed in the natural setting. The outdoor setting is equally exceptional, with an unusually deep backyard stretching approximately 277 feet. Meticulously maintained gardens, winding paths, and tranquil ponds create a private oasis that has hosted garden walks and club gatherings. Enjoy dedicated spaces for outdoor entertaining, including BBQ and firepit areas, along with a charming she-shed nestled at the rear of the property. The home is serviced by Lake Michigan water for the interior, with a private well dedicated to the gardens and outdoor use. Filled with natural light and perfectly suited for showcasing art and layered design-from bohemian chic to contemporary-this home offers a rare blend of personality, craftsmanship, and serenity. Located within a top-rated school district, it's a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity in Prospect Heights.
