1370 Longmeadow LN Lake Forest, IL 60045

Overlooking acres of Open Lands and walking trails in Newells Reserve, this elegant brick Georgian takes its position in one of Lake Forest's most idyllic and secluded settings. The 4,526 square-foot residence, beautifully constructed with all of today's modern amenities, brings formality, family-friendly living and space into balance on over a half-acre. Exquisite craftsmanship and classic design are captured in details such as soaring ceilings, crown molding, wainscoting and fireplaces that serve as centerpieces for the main living spaces. Inside, a stately foyer welcomes you into a formal dining room and living room. A large and comfortable family room opens to the kitchen and butler's pantry, all of which overlook the professionally landscaped backyard and back patio. The richly appointed eat-in kitchen - with timeless white cabinetry, a large butcher block island and walk-in pantry - will inspire plenty of meals and countless gatherings. Completing the main floor is a flexible bedroom with ensuite bath - which could make an ideal guest bedroom or private home office - and a mudroom leading to the attached 3-car garage. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, including two ensuite bedrooms and two bedrooms with a jack-and-jill bath. A double door entry introduces the sumptuous master bedroom suite with a sitting area, spacious bath and large walk-in closet/dressing room - making it the perfect haven for relaxing. A finished basement functions as a fantastic entertaining level or flex space with a wet bar, exercise room, Murphy bed and full bath. The backyard extends the living space to the outdoors with mature trees, a sweeping lawn and stone patio. The property's location in a quiet pocket of town only adds to the sense of tranquility. Warm, enduring and supremely livable.
