510 Broadsmoore Drive, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045

Property Description

Nestled on 1.48 manicured acres along prestigious Broadsmoore Drive, this stately brick estate was extensively renovated and transformed inside and out, blending timeless architecture with modern luxury. A gracious circular drive and a grand two-story foyer introduce a residence reimagined as a contemporary expression of luxury living. An elegant, well-conceived floor plan spans nearly 5,900 square feet, encompassing five bedrooms on the second floor and six-and-a-half baths. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and grand entertaining, the home achieves effortless flow between formal and informal spaces-and from indoors to out. Natural light and views of the backyard stream through expansive windows and doors. Soaring 10-foot ceilings, five fireplaces, and exceptional craftsmanship define the interiors. In recent years, the residence has been completely transformed with updated mechanicals and a refined transitional aesthetic, including a showpiece kitchen renovation, redesigned baths, and a transformed outdoor oasis with renovated pool and incredible grounds. Traditional millwork, crown molding, paneled walls, bespoke niches, and arched doorways honor the home's Georgian Revival architecture, now thoughtfully recast through a contemporary lens-preserving its character while bringing it gracefully into the present. The kitchen-reinvented to echo the home's timeless ambiance and outfitted with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Dacor, and Bosch appliances, farmhouse sink, brass accents, open shelving, a large center island, and hidden additional pantry storage-opens to a breakfast room. The adjacent family room, anchored by a whitewashed brick fireplace and a new wet bar, creates a seamless flow for entertaining. Formal dining and living rooms enjoy views of the front lawn. French doors lead to a wood-paneled library with built-ins, a fireplace, and wet bar overlooking the pool. A bonus private sunroom is filled with natural light and scenic views, offering a flexible space for relaxation or work. Upstairs, a loft space flows to the primary suite behind double doors, where soaring ceilings, fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a large marble bath await. A separate bedroom wing comprises four additional bedrooms, including two with an ensuite and two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath. The largest suite has a private bath and sitting area that connects to the back staircase-ideal for an au pair, guest, or live-in staff. The updated English basement doubles as a versatile entertaining level with a recreation and gaming area, full bath, second kitchen, and an impressive new gym-spacious enough to rival any commercial fitness studio. Beyond, professionally designed landscaping provides the backdrop for a private resort-style setting primed for outdoor entertaining featuring a resurfaced and replumbed pool with new decking, wading area, and spa, surrounded by terraces and outdoor gas firepit. A custom treehouse and batting cage round out the outdoor amenities, creating a private playground for all ages. Every inch of this estate reflects quality, care, and livability-a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship and modern luxury in one of the North Shore's most sought-after enclaves.
