Once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the most coveted estates in the Midwest with a main house, attached coachhouse, guest house, pool, pool house, conservatory, and awe-inspiring gardens with 21 "rooms" spanning almost 9 acres, near Lake Michigan! This magnificent brick Georgian home was designed by noted architect Benjamin H. Marshall in 1904. He was an influential Chicago architect of the roaring 20's, most remembered for designing the Drake Hotel. The house was built for Mr. and Mrs. John T. Pirie. Mr. Pirie was president and heir to Carson, Pirie Scott & Company. The current owners purchased the estate from Laurance H. Armour, Jr. in 1988. The facade of the house reflects the Prairie School of architecture, with its row of wide windows, portico and three-story gable, with an Italianate influence featuring Tuscan columns and bowed windows. The spectacular landscape was designed in the 1920's by Rose Standish Nichols. This fabulous estate includes a breathtaking expanse of bentgrass lawns, majestic trees and a series of 21 awe-inspiring outdoor "rooms," most of which were created by the current owners who engaged prominent landscape architects throughout the development of the gardens. After the current homeowners took possession in 1988, they proceeded with a decade long house and garden renovation and expansion of remarkable stewardship enhancing the property to its current state of splendor. In the mid 90's two neighboring properties on Mayflower were purchased allowing for the expansion of the gardens and the addition of the pool house, pool and guest house. They extended the gardens well beyond the historic landscape plan employing the highest quality and nationally recognized architectural and landscape professionals, preserving its historical character and recreating a classic Lake Forest estate. The expansion in 2008 was the most important event in the history of local country places in 60 years and significantly elevated the architectural quality of this section of Mayflower Road. There is elevator access to all four levels of the main house. The landscape is the collaboration of many including Tom and Kirsten Beeby, New York Garden Estate Landscape Architect & Designer Deborah Nevins, and local landscape architects Frank Mariani, Craig Bergmann, and P. Clifford Miller. The most important influence was the owner's passion and creative talent for gardening, as well as their love of nature that was the driving force behind this extraordinary one-of-a-kind landscape. There is arguably no other property like this in the country with its array of captivating garden rooms, lush, wooded ravine garden, exquisite millefleur seasonal garden beds and long-term mixed plantings, perfectly manicured hedges, majestic trees, espalier trees, and captivating beauty at every turn that brings inner peace, inspiration and exuberance showing that even in Chicago's diverse climate it is possible to have a wonderful English garden. The owner's passion for gardening and beauty is evident throughout this magnificent, meticulously maintained estate. Incredibly rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Country House era estate in the heart of east Lake Forest near Lake Michigan and all that downtown Lake Forest offers.

A sophisticated presence, landmark status, architectural integrity, and an unprecedented outdoor footprint for Wicker Park, 1407 N. Hoyne Ave. is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for the homeowner who wants an expansive city estate with pedigree and a modern program. Originally built for beer baron John H. Rapp in 1886, this 8250 SqFt-square-foot, 5+ bed/5.5 bath single-family home underwent a 2-plus-year renovation and restoration by Rugo Raff Architects. The current owner acquired and reunited the original 2000 square foot coach house with this lovingly restored home which is now included in this offering. Preserving elements of its Victorian charm while optimizing sightlines and integrating first-class finishes was paramount. This special home's unheard of 98' x 150' lot - a combined oversized 4-5 city lots! - affords multiple green spaces, including a deep front yard with mature landscaping, a side yard with raised garden beds and a European-style pergola, and a meticulously manicured backyard. Inside, an elegant entry plus an oval-shaped entry hall link to a lovely living room with an abundance of natural light, a traditional turret, and a wood-burning fireplace, and a formal dining room just beyond with hand-scraped walnut floors. The custom chef's kitchen stuns with O'Brien Harris cabinetry, white quartzite countertops, professional-grade Wolf/Sub-Zero appliances, an herb garden, a full butler's pantry, a breakfast dining space with banquette seating, and a built-in desk. The main level also features an intimate family room with built-in walnut cabinetry and a chic beverage center, and two beautiful limestone terraces accessed via French doors: a 12' x 23' west terrace for open-air entertaining and a 12' x 17' side terrace that's perfectly appointed for large-scale alfresco dining with an outdoor kitchen and a built-in grill. A striking example of this home's flawless interior architecture is the centrally located, curving suspended staircase. The second level is devoted to two secondary bedrooms (one with custom bunk beds), the first of two laundry rooms, and an impressively spacious primary suite with a sitting area, a custom dressing room, a walk-in closet, and a marble-clad ensuite bath with two vanities, a soaking tub, and a deluxe shower. The third floor presents two designer offices--a handsome den with knotty alder wood floors and a gas fireplace, a cozy den with a wet bar, an exercise room, and yet another polished guest bedroom. But there's more... This truly magnificent home also comes complete with a fully finished garden level with a massive playroom that opens onto a basement terrace, a wine room, a kitchenette, another large guest bedroom with den perfect for related living, a second laundry room, a walk-in storage room, and a custom mudroom that connects to a two-car garage. Plus, the property features a standalone coach house - a wonderful blank slate that can be transformed into a guest cottage, a recreation or art space, offices, or added parking if needed. Additional callout details and amenities include restored original doors and hardware, custom woodwork and trim throughout, designer lighting and wallcoverings throughout, four total fireplaces, 97 Marvin windows, geothermal heating and cooling plus radiant heat in the lower level playroom, a Lutron lighting system, self-irrigating planters on both terraces, and an excess of custom interior storage. Walking distance to Wicker Park proper and the world-class shopping and dining that extends from the neighborhood's famed Six Corners, 1407 N. Hoyne Ave. is a one-of-a-kind home with uncompromising design and comforts.
