Renowned North Shore landscape architect P. Clifford Miller designed and developed the inspired grounds over fifteen years for his private residence, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a storied East Lake Forest home of exceptional provenance. Set just two blocks from Lake Michigan on nearly an acre, the property features Miller's signature native gardens and a tranquil garden walk meandering through year-round greenery, as featured on many local garden tours through the years. A well-preserved traditional clapboard residence of approximately 4,000 square feet anchors the .83-acre property. Improvements include a sweeping circular driveway that creates a sense of arrival, a new cedar roof, a thoughtfully updated kitchen, two renovated baths, and several newer mechanicals. Inside, refinished hardwoods, crown molding, and architectural niches infuse timeless character throughout. A classic brick-paved foyer leads to a gracious great room centered on a wood-burning fireplace, where garden views and natural light fill the space. Set behind double doors, a coveted main- level primary suite functions as its own private wing, complete with a skylit ensuite bath, jetted tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. The suite connects to the sunroom and an anteroom that adjoins a flexible room that can easily double as an office, dressing room, nursery, or potential fifth bedroom. Modernized through a timeless lens in 2024, the kitchen blends quartz counters, white cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, a Fisher & Paykel range, and a Bosch dishwasher. A dining room and powder room reside off the kitchen, allowing seamless entertaining flow. Doors from the main living areas open to a classic brick terrace and a fine gravel French courtyard, creating distinct outdoor entertaining spaces. Upstairs, two bedroom wings offer complete privacy for family, guests or an au pair, served by two recently renovated baths. A classic greenhouse, garden shed or playhouse, integrated sprinkler system, attached two-car garage, and 772-square-foot lower level complete this masterwork of North Shore heritage and enduring architectural style.

MLS# 12755157
A RARE BARRINGTON HILLS EQUESTRIAN PROPERTY where the home, barn and land have all been meticulously cared for and designed to work beautifully together. This Mediterranean-inspired ranch is set on 5+ acres of rolling hills, behind a coded iron entrance gate and surrounded by 4-board oak fencing. The home offers dramatic spaces, soaring ceilings reaching approximately 24 feet, expansive windows and 5 fireplaces with marble and granite details. Unique 5 wide Hickory flooring adds a rustic touch throughout. The large kitchen is designed for gatherings and entertaining, with an oversized 7.5+ foot island and stool seating. The island includes a prep sink and built-in wine fridge. High-end appliances include a professional-size Wolf range with built-in grill and griddle, 2 warming drawers, a Sub-Zero fridge and Wolf double ovens. Beyond the kitchen fireplace is an intimate dining area with a circular vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows. This recently remodeled kitchen is a cook's dream! A formal dining room with a coffered ceiling leads into the dramatic family room, where double doors and a massive fireplace anchor the space. An adjoining wet bar with seating for 4 opens to the billiard room for effortless entertaining. The bar features beautiful granite, a built-in wine fridge and ice maker, and custom overhead glass cabinetry with intricate wooden details. The private primary suite feels like a retreat, with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, a fireplace with granite surround, and a spa-inspired bath with an oversized shower, whirlpool tub, natural light, rich cabinetry and hand-laid marble details. Additional bedrooms feature a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while flexible living spaces provide room for guests, hobbies or extended stays. Approximately 2,500 square feet of finished lower-level space adds another dimension to the home. It features a large living area with an adjacent room for crafting, seasonal storage or even an added bedroom. Beyond the lower-level fireplace is an additional functioning kitchen with a granite bar and seating, lower counter, sink/wet bar and refrigerator, plus ample space for dining or lounging. Double doors open to a walk-out area with access to the backyard, ideal for a future outdoor living or pool area. The lower level also includes an additional primary bedroom suite with a grand spa bathroom accessible from the living area. The bath features tumbled slate flooring, a granite countertop with double sinks, a whirlpool tub, and an oversized shower with double Kohler rain showerheads. Outside, lush perennial gardens bring changing color throughout the seasons and complement the peaceful acreage. This exceptional property was created with horses at the center of the lifestyle. The barn comfortably accommodates 4 horses in beautifully maintained matted and padded stalls, each with direct access to limestone paddocks and open pasture. Horses can move easily between stalls, paddocks and grazing areas, creating a highly functional setup for daily care. The property also includes heated automatic waterers and a regulation-sized riding arena. A 30kW Generac whole-house generator adds an important layer of reliability, especially where the well supplies water for the horses. The home's abundance of windows provides wonderful views of the grounds and makes it easy to keep an eye on the horses throughout the day. From the barn and connected paddocks to the pastures, riding arena, fencing and sightlines from the home, every detail works together. For the buyer looking for acreage, privacy and a genuinely well-designed equestrian property in Barrington Hills, this is an opportunity that is incredibly difficult to replicate.
