Designed by David Adler as the coach house for the historic Centaurs estate in 1928, the Tower House remains one of Lake Forest's most celebrated architectural icons set near the shores of Lake Michigan. The five-story Italianate-style residence overlooks nearly an acre of private, wooded grounds, culminating in the famous tower, which features expansive views of the lake and the surrounding estate. The property is currently owned by acclaimed designer Kara Mann, who has meticulously designed plans for a potential renovation to modernize this significant historic property. Privacy is a defining feature of this Lake Forest estate, as it's visible only through the wrought-iron gates and accessible via a courtyard. The interiors, including the kitchen and baths, have been renovated by previous owners while preserving the home's architectural integrity and detailing. Adler's love for symmetry, historic style, and craftsmanship is captured in coved ceilings, arched doorways, Art Deco-style tray ceilings, original brick and wood floors, and Palladian-inspired arched windows and French doors that mirror each other. Natural light pours through expansive windows, illuminating the main living and dining areas. Heights reach up to eleven feet, giving these spaces a sense of volume. The residence is thoughtfully arranged across five distinct levels, centering on a main floor that balances grand entertaining with privacy and separation. The chef's kitchen is equipped with European-style cabinetry, Wolf, Sub-Zero, Viking, and Miele appliances, and opens to a sun-drenched solarium-the only addition to the original Adler footprint. A library with custom built-ins leads to a main-level guest suite. On the second floor, the layout provides a dedicated retreat with two primary suites and a bright, renovated laundry room. The architectural narrative continues upward through the tower, housing a fourth en-suite bedroom on the third level and the historic Byzantine Room on the fourth. This space features uniquely preserved murals by Russian-born artist Nicolai Remisoff, one of the few remaining examples of his work (the other is at the Lake Forest Library Rotunda). A fifth secluded bedroom suite and sitting area occupy the final interior level. The vertical journey concludes on the rooftop terrace, where treetop views and panoramas of the lake and the distant Chicago skyline offer a perspective as singular as the architecture itself. The property is completed by a detached two-car garage, an expansive patio, a private courtyard, and a lawn area suitable for a future pool. The Tower House stands as one of Lake Forest's most significant David Adler projects, now with the rare advantage of a renovation vision for its next chapter as a luxury North Shore residence.

Significant capital improvements over the last six years ensure absolute peace of mind, including completely rebuilt exterior brick walls, five fully rehabbed bathrooms, updated pool equipment, a renovated pool house, and a fresh coat of interior paint throughout. Even the hallway balustrades have been replaced to meet modern safety codes and meticulously stained to match the original historic woodwork. The heart of the home features a formal twenty-seven by seventeen foot dining room that boasts custom Chinese themed wall treatments, soaring high ceilings, and rich herringbone hardwood floors. Nearby, the stunning Peacock Kitchen has been recently updated to be light and bright. This culinary space features a generous center island, premium granite countertops, high end appliances, and an abundance of pantry and cupboard space, complemented by a dedicated planning area to the south. Large windows and elegant French doors open from the kitchen onto enchanting courtyard gardens centered around a tranquil fountain. For seamless indoor outdoor living during pleasant weather, a twenty-one by eleven foot screened porch provides a protected retreat surrounded by mature perennial gardens, offering direct access to the pool area. Accommodations in this estate are remarkably flexible and luxurious, beginning with a private first floor bedroom suite custom designed with every amenity and a private bathroom. However, the true crowning jewel of the home is the second floor primary suite, which offers an even more lavish and luxurious sanctuary than the main level space. The rest of the second floor is equally impressive, where each additional bedroom features its own recently updated private bathroom. This level also serves as an entertainment hub, boasting a secondary kitchen and a massive thirty-five by twenty foot theatre room equipped with a brand new one hundred inch television. Adding to the incredible versatility of this property is a fully functional, separately metered coach house that provides the perfect private accommodations for guests.

Unobstructed views of Lake Michigan set the tone for this beautifully restored circa 1890s residence at 552 Sunrise in Lake Bluff - an exceptional lakeside retreat and rare opportunity to own a true shoreline escape. Originally built between 1888 and 1902 and lovingly cared for by just three families, this remarkable home spans two parcels with 100 feet frontage facing the lake. A comprehensive renovation by the highly regarded Gobeler Company, with architectural design by Landmark Development, seamlessly blends timeless character with modern comfort, preserving the home's historic charm while thoughtfully updating it for today's lifestyle.

A generous bay window with a window seat offers panoramic lake views, an ideal spot to relax and take in the ever-changing scenery. The chef's kitchen features high-end appliances, seperate breakfast room, and an inviting hearth room that opens to a charming front porch, perfect for enjoying morning light and lake breezes. The dining room, highlighted by a statement Aerin chandelier, is well-suited for both intimate gatherings and larger entertaining, with direct access to the rear deck and gardens. The upper level is thoughtfully arranged as a private primary retreat, offering stunning water views, custom built-ins, and a spa-inspired marble bath with a soaking tub, steam shower, and heated floors, along with an adjoining room currently used as a closet and laundry. Two additional bedrooms are equally inviting and share a beautifully renovated bathroom. Additional features include restored hardwood floors, integrated audio/visual systems, beautiful light fixtures, a custom-designed mudroom and powder room, and flexible guest spaces. A large basement provides ample storage. Outdoors, the Craig Bergmann designed grounds create a true lakeside oasis with seasonal gardens, layered plantings, stonework, and multiple outdoor living areas designed to capture the beauty of the lake. A rear deck, reclaimed brick driveway and walkways, and a two-car garage complete the property. Located less than one mile from the Lake Bluff train station and town center, this home offers both tranquility and convenience.
