House with pool and garden Lake Bluff (United States)

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.

House with pool Wilmette (United States)

Set on a beautifully landscaped lot in the heart of Wilmette's coveted CAGE neighborhood, this thoughtfully reimagined home delivers the rare trifecta buyers chase on the North Shore: an unforgettable block, a first floor built for real life and entertaining, and a backyard meant for fun and entertaining! It is a short, easy walk to the train, top-rated schools, downtown Wilmette, the lakefront and beach, and it's on the kind of street where neighbors become lifelong friends. The heart of the home is its remarkable first floor, where a gracious front living room with fireplace and rich millwork opens into a south-facing sunroom separated by French Doors. A formal dining room (which current owners use both formally for dining and informally for recreation, ie: dining table/pool table) is the center of the home. It flows graciously into the heartbeat of the living space- a generous kitchen anchored by an oversized island. Luxury appliances include a Wolf range, SubZero refrigerator, and wine fridge. An adjacent eat-in table space with expansive work wall anchors the back of the home overlooking the patio and yard. But it doesn't stop there. This space flows into a family room with vaulted cedar-lined ceilings with another set of French Doors which open for seasonal inside/outside living. The flow from front door to kitchen to backyard is simply effortless. Outside, that connection comes to life on a bluestone patio designed for gathering, with a built-in fire-pit lounge and a dedicated grill station with natural-gas hookup. Then there's a wide open green space perfect for whatever your pleasure is-whether it's a playset, winter hockey rink, or gardening. Upstairs, the primary suite features a lot of flexible closet space and a primary bath with double sinks, marble heated floors and a spa-worthy oversized walk-in shower. The hall bathroom also features marble-tiled heated floors and an oversized shower. The third floor is perfect for flex space- guest suite, teen lounge or office. The finished lower level offers flexible space for playroom, office or workout. The basement is already plumbed for a 4th bathroom. Best of all, the home has been meticulously maintained and updated, with newer windows throughout (2021), roof (2021), and furnace (2021), remodeled kitchen (2022) and baths and a new sewer line (2026). Nothing left to do but move in. A home where location, design, and livability come together in a way that cannot be missed.
