Designed with both grand-scale entertaining and comfortable daily living in mind, the floor plan will feature expansive formal and casual living spaces, a spectacular chef's kitchen with an oversized island and professional-grade appliances, separate prep kitchen, elegant dining room, private office, library or lounge, and seamless access to outdoor terraces overlooking the breathtaking grounds. The upper level is envisioned to include an exceptional primary suite offering the feel of a private boutique hotel, complete with a spa-inspired bath, oversized dressing rooms, sitting area, and serene views of the surrounding landscape. Additional ensuite bedrooms provide luxurious accommodations for family and guests alike. The lower level transforms into a private resort featuring opportunities for a state-of-the-art fitness center, golf simulator, home theater, wine cellar, wellness retreat with sauna and steam room, recreation spaces, and additional guest accommodations. Every element has been thoughtfully considered to create an environment that adapts to the way today's luxury buyer lives. Outside, the possibilities are endless. The extraordinary acreage offers ample room to create a resort-caliber outdoor experience with a pool, pool house, sports court, outdoor kitchen, gardens, walking paths, and multiple entertaining spaces, all while preserving the peaceful beauty and natural surroundings that make this property truly one of a kind. Located in one of Glenview's most coveted settings, adjacent to the protected beauty of The Grove, this property offers an incredibly rare combination of privacy, prestige, and convenience with easy access to award-winning schools, golf courses, parks, shopping, dining, expressways, and both Chicago airports. This is more than a new construction home. It is an opportunity to create a legacy estate, one that simply could not be replicated today. Bring your vision, customize every detail, and build a residence that will stand as one of the North Shore's most iconic homes for generations to come.
