Stone Wood Manor-a 1935 stone estate by architects Frazier and Rafter-comprehensively reimagined in 2016 by Marshall Architects and Didier Custom Homes (a 3-year rebuild). Set on 9.38 heavily wooded acres in the Fox River Valley that border St. Charles Country Club, the property offers privacy at an estate scale and was designed for serious entertaining. The estate presents three distinct structures/areas: the main residence, the pool and pool house area, and the pickleball court / stone garage (with studio space). Start your day with a nature walk on your own quarter-mile circuit that winds through the woods and leads to a serene pond. Enjoy the expansive 13,500 sq ft. ft. of living space. The 2016 renovation preserved the original architecture and character: every system beneath it was rebuilt, and the result reads as a fully modern estate beneath unmistakably 1935 lines. Seven en-suite bedrooms include a first-floor primary suite with a sitting area, fireplace, dressing room, and a spa bath built around a soaking tub and oversized shower. The chef's kitchen, renovated in 2021, opens to a breakfast room and shares the main level with a formal dining room, a piano room with a concert digital piano, and a wine room. The English Lower Level functions as a dedicated entertainment floor: a Ralph Lauren-inspired bar, an eight-seat theater updated in 2024, a private office, a fully equipped gym, a game room with a snack kitchen, and a spa lounge complete with a built-in pedicure tub, massage table, and salon station. Five fireplaces warm the residence. Beyond the main house, the entertaining grounds unfold across two further structures. Dual waterfalls frame the freeform pool and spa tub area surrounded by the bluestone patio with an outdoor kitchen and fire pit area. The Pool House (also fully renovated) - with a custom bar, fireplace, poker room, full bath, changing room, and laundry, purpose-built for entertaining - is away from the main residence. The 2022 lighted Pickleball/Sport Court has easy access to the Stone 2-Car Garage (with bar and 2nd floor studio) as well as a private patio and fire pit-perfect for post-game wind-down. Other amenities include a natural gas backup generator, a private well to support the property's systems, smart home automation, an extensive sound system and more. The estate is zoned for horses, available fully furnished, and includes a golf membership to the championship 18-hole St. Charles Country Club. Despite the seclusion, the property sits roughly four minutes from DuPage Airport, placing private aviation within easy reach.

On the market for the first time in nearly 50 years, the historic Phelps Kelley House is one of Lake Bluff's most significant estate properties. Designed in 1927 by noted Chicago architect Ambrose Cramer, a protege of David Adler, this Tudor Revival masterpiece was originally part of the historic Stonebridge estate. The 9.35-acre property is elegantly situated at the end of a long, private, tree-lined drive, and features a pond, rolling lawn, mature trees, gardens, a 7,383-square-foot main residence with meticulously preserved interiors, and a detached 5-car garage with a full coach house apartment above. Across five decades, one family has carefully stewarded the character of this home, preserving its original grandeur through its stone floors, carved millwork, wood paneling, intricate moldings, tall casement windows, and generous ceiling heights. Cramer carefully planned the floorplan for gracious living and entertaining. A grand entry leads to expansive formal living and dining rooms-each with fireplaces and French doors opening to an expansive terrace overlooking verdant gardens and the pool beyond. A paneled sunroom offers a quiet retreat with views of the grounds and lends itself perfectly to a sun-filled private office. Service areas are thoughtfully configured for ease: a large butler's pantry with extensive vintage cabinetry connects the dining room to the kitchen, which adjoins a sunlit breakfast room oriented toward the pool. A spacious family room provides yet another vantage point to appreciate the property's natural beauty. Additional first-floor conveniences include a large laundry room, back staircase, and discreet storage integrated throughout. Five bedrooms and six full baths complete the second floor, including a primary suite that functions as its own private wing with dual baths, multiple closets, and a dressing room rich with period character. Two additional bedrooms and 1.1 baths on the first floor offer ideal space for guests or multi-generational living. The lower level includes a powder bath and abundant storage space, but could also be converted into a future recreation room. The property's park-like grounds elevate the estate into a true retreat that feels worlds away. Outdoor amenities include a swimming pool, greenhouse, and a prior tennis court site that provides exceptional potential for a new court or custom outdoor recreation. Meandering paths encourage exploration, while open lawns and a broad terrace facilitate gatherings of any scale. Adding to the estate's pastoral charm, the current owners maintain beehives on the property for small-batch honey production. The greenhouse, beehives, and expanses of lawn and garden reinforce the feeling of escape that a private country estate provides while being only minutes from Lake Bluff's beloved community fabric: downtown's charming shops and dining, the Metra station, Sunrise Beach, highly rated schools, outstanding parks, and the town's renowned Fourth of July celebration. A once-in-a-generation offering, the Phelps Kelley House represents the finest expression of North Shore heritage. It is an estate in the truest sense, meticulously preserved and ready to begin its next chapter.
