Property Description

RARELY AVAILABLE AND HISTORIC LAKE FOREST SINGLE FAMILY HOME- Nestled along a scenic private lane off King Muir Road, this enchanting home is a hidden gem. Originally built in 1902 as the "Chauffeur's Quarters" for The Westmoreland Farm Estate of A.B. Dick, this residence has been thoughtfully expanded and exquisitely updated. The cottage boasts stunning views of its lush .92-acre surroundings, featuring perennial gardens, a fountain, trellises, and charming brick patios and pathways. Among the numerous enhancements is a breathtaking gourmet kitchen, revamped in 2016, showcasing new Craft Maid cabinetry, quartz countertops, and premium appliances, including Wolf ovens and cooktop, a Bosch dishwasher, a SubZero refrigerator/freezer, and a Uline wine cooler. The kitchen seamlessly flows into the inviting, newly remodeled family room, complete with a cozy fireplace bordered by custom bookshelves, a built-in window seat, and doors leading to an outdoor bluestone patio. French doors usher you into the elegantly updated formal dining room, adorned with custom millwork. The spacious formal living room features crown moldings and two large windows offering views of the professionally landscaped grounds. The main floor also includes a bedroom with a fully updated bathroom, currently serving as a stylish office. Upstairs, you'll find three more bedrooms, including a charming primary suite with new hardwood floors, a luxurious private bathroom, two walk-in closets, and a private balcony. The additional family bedrooms share an updated hall bath. This property represents a unique chance to own a part of Lake Forest's history and is a proud recipient of a Preservation Foundation award. Once you experience its charm, you'll never want to leave! Available 10/1/25
