Located in sought after south east Highland Park, just houses from Lake Michigan with street private-access beach rights. Meticulously rebuilt in 2006, designed by award-winning architectural firm Morgante-Wilson, this home was totally redesigned with the utmost attention to detail! NO STONE WAS LEFT UN-TURNED. The only room left untouched, besides its new custom windows, was the spectacular Living Room that hosts a vaulted ceiling with beams originally from a cathedral in Normandy. Professional Chef's Kitchen with custom Amish-made cabinetry, 2 oversized ovens, 6 burner cooktop, 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, warming drawer and separate side by side 36-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, all surrounding a BIG cozy teak island. In-Kitchen custom-built granite-topped desk and cabinetry allows for convenient home office and family workspace. Fabulous Solarium designed to give a panoramic view of the natural beauty of the ravine. Also looking out at the ravine is the Family Room, which is connected to both the Kitchen and Living Room creating added flow. Generous-sized separate Dining Room with built-in wine fridge and wet bar in butler's pantry steps away. Dramatic Powder Room with onyx stone backsplash and river rock sink on hand hewn beam, matching that adorning the Viking kitchen hood. First floor Laundry Room next to custom cubbies with shelving leading to 3-car garage. Grand Primary suite with stunning ravine views, vaulted ceiling, 2 walk-in closets along with 3 additional closets, double vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Bonus loft area for peaceful retreat or office. Four additional large bedrooms each with architectural details. One en-suite bedroom, 1 hall bath with double sinks along with front and back staircases complete the second floor. Finished Basement with many windows allowing an abundance of natural light. Lovely office or bedroom across from full bath could serve as private guest or au pair suite. Multiple spaces for Rec-Room, home theater or exercise equipment. The .710 of an acre lot hosts a large front yard and two patios overlooking the peaceful ravine in the back yard. Just a few blocks away from Ravinia Festival and downtown Ravinia. This home is truly a GEM!
