Property Description
Set on a private, tree-lined 1.4-acre cul-de-sac, 1970 Windridge Drive is a timeless stucco and stone estate offering refined craftsmanship and effortless luxury. A circular brick drive and tranquil fountain introduce interiors defined by a dramatic columned foyer, sweeping iron staircase, soaring ceilings, rich millwork, hardwood floors, and three fireplaces. The light-filled family room is a true focal point, with floor-to-ceiling arched windows framing picturesque grounds and a fireplace anchoring the space. Elegant formal living and dining rooms are enhanced by exquisite detailing, a statement chandelier, and expansive windows. The gourmet kitchen features custom Wood-Mode cabinetry, newer premium appliances, a large center island, and a sunlit breakfast room. A main-level primary suite offers a private sanctuary with dual walk-in closets. A handsome wood-paneled library, mudroom, laundry, and dual staircases complete the main level. A sunlit second-level bonus room provides flexibility as a gym or artist's studio. The finished lower level elevates the lifestyle with an indoor golf driving range, bar, wine cellar, recreation spaces, fifth bedroom, full bath, and extensive storage. Newer mechanicals and a 50-year concrete slate-look roof enhance ease of ownership. Outdoors, a west-facing setting unfolds with bluestone patios, hot tub, walking path, and lush gardens framed by mature oaks. Ideally located near O'Hare, Metra, major highways, parks, and top schools, this exceptional offering blends privacy, scale, and convenience in one of Lake Forest's most desirable settings.
