Iconic and exquisitely restored French manor estate set on prestigious Deerpath Road, just steps from Market Square and the beach. Rich in history and masterfully designed by renowned architect Jerome Cerny, this extraordinary residence seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern luxury living. A comprehensive renovation and addition in 2004 thoughtfully enhanced the home's grandeur while preserving its architectural integrity. Boasting 7 bedrooms, 6 fireplaces, 6 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, dual laundry rooms, and a heated 3-car garage, the home offers both scale and sophistication for today's lifestyle. Designed with entertaining in mind, the interiors flow effortlessly, combining historic charm with updated infrastructure. The chef's kitchen-originally designed by O'Brien Harris in 2011-opens to an expansive breakfast area and sun-filled family room. It was reimagined in 2025 with exquisite white marble and rich walnut countertops, delivering a stunning, functional centerpiece to the home. Every window frames breathtaking views of the meticulously landscaped grounds. Set on a rare one-acre in-town lot, the property offers a private oasis complete with a pool and beautifully manicured gardens-perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. An exceptional offering in coveted East Lake Forest, this one-of-a-kind estate defines refined luxury living.
