550 Rockefeller Rd, Lake Forest, IL 60045

Sited on a beautiful one acre property in east Lake Forest's Villa Turicum, 550 Rockefeller was custom built as an elegant three bedroom brick ranch with spacious rooms, high ceilings, oak hardwood flooring and many built-in features. In 2001, a second floor dormered addition was built; it includes two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and kitchenette. This uniquely private "apartment" is ideal for overnight guests, live-in help, or extended family visits. The welcoming foyer has marble flooring, two coat closets and ample wall space for decorative art. The living room feels regal with its higher ceilings, traditional wood burning fireplace, built-ins, sliding glass door and tall windows. The separate formal dining room is the perfect place for holiday feasts and dinner parties. It boasts tall windows with views of the front garden. The eat-in kitchen has abundant cabinetry, newer appliances, a planning desk, a wet bar and a sliding glass door that provides views of the ample rear yard. Adjacent to the kitchen is the family room. Its gas fireplace, built-in bookshelves, beamed ceiling and pegged hardwood flooring make it a most inviting room. The expansive master suite is on the main level. It is complete with hardwood flooring, a spacious walk-in closet, a wall closet, and a full bathroom with double vanity and shower. Two additional bedrooms and a hallway bathroom complete the first floor bedroom wing. The attached 2-car garage opens to a large mud room/laundry room and nearby powder room. The full basement is unfinished although it offers abundant storage and unlimited potential! Enjoy summer evenings on the rear brick patio, surrounded by established perennials and mature trees. This well maintained home has been much loved by the current owner, and it shows! It is close to Lake Michigan, biking and hiking trails, a Metra train station and outstanding schools. Live your best life in this wonderful home!
