Property Description

Just steps from Lake Michigan...indulge in luxury in this private East Kenilworth estate on over half an acre, masterfully expanded and renovated by Chip Hackley in 2017 with a 2024 kitchen refresh and reimagined floor plan. Renowned for his ability to marry modern luxury with historical integrity, Hackley transformed this 6BD/8.1BA C. Whitney Stevens property into a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and contemporary living with features that include: transformed primary suite, 7 newer baths (5 remodeled & 2 newly added), a gorgeous architectural coach house that seamlessly reflects the home's original grandeur with 2nd floor living, new private bath/changing station plus a salt water pool, two pergolas, built in exterior fireplace, fully equipped outdoor kitchen, fresh 3 1/2 car garage with motorcycle lift and Tesla charging station set up, expanded mudroom with unique underground access all leading to this gorgeous English Manor revitalization. This comfortable home's layout which balances formal and casual spaces, offers breathtaking garden and pool views, with an easy indoor-outdoor flow showcasing the grand foyer with dual entrances, a three story hand carved oak staircase, exquisite wainscoting, coffered ceilings with intricately restored plaster ceilings, built in cabinetry throughout, elegant arch entryways, leaded glass windows framed in limestone and richly paneled wood walls & doors all leading to the generously scaled formal living room, dining room with dual sided limestone fireplace and handsome wood paneled library. A haven for culinary enthusiasts, the gourmet kitchen is a true masterpiece with top-of-the-line appliances (mostly 2017), custom cabinetry, large center island, exquisite stone countertops, a Barber Wilson nickel sink and connected breakfast room. An attached command center office offers convenience, while the adjacent family room is a showpiece in design as it offers stunning outdoor views and opens to the living room that spans multiple floor to ceiling French doors leading the way to the recently re-built all-season, cedar wood screened porch carefully designed to optimize natural light and comfort. The freshly renovated primary suite is a sanctuary of serenity, featuring an incredible, oversized, walk-in dressing gallery and a spa-like bathroom adorned with the finest marble, custom cabinetry and a dual head walk-in shower.Three well-proportioned bedrooms, each meticulously designed for absolute comfort and privacy feature luxurious en-suite bathrooms, custom closets that amplify the sense of casual luxury while an additional exercise room, homework room (or 5th BR) and private porch/playroom overlook the spectacular pool and grounds round out the second floor. The breathtaking rebuilt third floor with its treetop views boasts an impressive living space that includes a family room, game nook, additional (6th) bedroom and spectacular bath - perfect for guests or extended family. The home's lower level, accessed by multiple staircases, boasts the newly added unique mudroom with ample organization for everyday living, an underground breezeway, plus two expansive recreation areas, gym with sauna, great laundry space and several versatile bonus rooms, perfect for your varying needs all while fostering a sense of connectivity and entertainment. Hackley's signature attention to detail continues by seamlessly extending the home's allure with breathtaking bluestone terraces overlooking the pool, coach house and professionally manicured grounds that unveil lush gardens, mature trees and fragrant blossoms.
