Nestled within the private estate setting of the lovely Shoreacres Golf Club, this exceptional, solidly built home-designed by renowned architect Charles Page-offers breathtaking views of Lake Michigan from nearly every room. Set on an expansive .98-acre lot, the property is surrounded by magnificent mature trees and professionally designed landscaping, creating an extraordinary sense of privacy and tranquility. Completely rebuilt from the ground up with the finest materials, craftsmanship, and systems, this remarkable residence is truly move-in ready, with an extensive list of improvements available for review. Designed equally for entertaining and relaxed everyday living, 1765 Shore Acres Rd. offers a rare, resort-like experience in one of Lake Bluff's most desirable settings. Sophisticated yet inviting, the home features a striking staircase, spacious living room, formal dining area, stunning chef's kitchen, handsome custom bar room, comfortable family room, and a year-round sunroom. Five generously sized bedrooms-including four en-suite bedrooms-and five-and-a-half beautifully appointed baths provide exceptional comfort and flexibility. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a raised deck directly off the kitchen, an open-air porch, expansive bluestone patio, and private hot tub, all surrounded by lush grounds. A 2.5-car garage completes the property. The location is equally exceptional, with convenient access to Lake Bluff's train station, charming downtown shops and restaurants, top-rated schools, parks, and the village's beautiful beach. The extensive improvements include a new DaVinci roof with a 50-year warranty, all-new windows and doors, spray-foam insulation in newly constructed walls, a new driveway and golf-cart path, new front entry, whole-house security system with cameras, three fireplaces, programmable lighting, Lutron motorized smart blinds, a whole-house Generac generator, custom walnut bar, and custom cabinetry throughout-just to name a few. A truly special home in a truly special setting, 1765 Shore Acres Rd. offers an unparalleled combination of architecture, craftsmanship, privacy, lake views, and resort-style living. This is a rare opportunity not to be missed.

About North
Shore
North Shore, located between Evanston and Lake Forest, is a residential and lakeside Chicago neighborhood with leafy ravines and a shoreline park system. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Metra stations and village centers along Green Bay Road, where independent cafes, bookstores, and small galleries line walkable blocks. Writers Theatre and the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts anchor the cultural calendar, while the Chicago Botanic Garden sets a seasonal rhythm just beyond the lakefront. Streets of brick Colonials, Tudors, and mid-century homes sit behind mature trees and stone walls. Lake Michigan beaches and the Green Bay Trail shape daily routines with long, linear outdoor corridors. Commuter rail and lakefront drives connect the area to downtown without changing its quiet, curated pace.
