This is a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of architectural history. Designed by legendary architect Howard Van Doren Shaw, The Gatehouse at Havenwood is the last remaining structure from steel magnate Edward Ryerson's internationally acclaimed Havenwood estate, once spanning 32 magnificent acres along the shores of Lake Michigan. Set on 1.31 beautifully landscaped acres, the Gatehouse has been thoughtfully restored and extensively renovated to blend modern luxury with extraordinary historic character. Originally built to house the estate staff, the property later served an order of monks after the Depression before passing into private ownership in the 1980s. Today, the current owners' meticulous restoration has preserved and uncovered original architectural details while transforming the home into a sophisticated and highly livable residence. The grounds themselves are rich in history, featuring restored stone pillars and landscape elements designed by renowned landscape architect Jens Jensen as part of the original Ryerson estate. Enter the through the iconic central arch and private rear entrance into an elegant formal living area.

The serene suite features French doors opening to a private patio overlooking the grounds, a beautifully appointed dressing room with built-in cabinetry, secondary laundry, and thoughtfully incorporated transom windows that fill the space with natural light while maintaining privacy. The spa-inspired primary bath includes heated floors, a walk-in shower, soaking tub, separate water closet, and exquisite custom stonework. The second level offers three additional bedrooms, a private office, and two fully renovated bathrooms, including one ensuite. The lower level includes a secondary entrance beneath the archway leading to a functional mudroom, recreation space, and full laundry area. Significant infrastructure improvements include newer mechanical systems (2022-2025), drain tile installation, and a newly replaced asphalt roof and copper gutters on the addition in 2025. On the opposite side of the archway sits the impressive four-car, high-ceiling garage building, ideal for car collectors or hobbyists. The adjoining garden bay wing offers flexible workshop, studio, or storage space for smaller vehicles and bicycles. Above the garage, the fully renovated Coachman's Apartment provides nearly 1,100 square feet of exceptional auxiliary living space.

$1,000,000

Location is everything here. Just a short walk to Lake Forest High School and Sheridan Elementary School, with the lakefront and downtown Lake Forest an easy bike ride away, this is a setting that's hard to replicate. The home is a classic center entry Colonial with a welcoming front porch, set on a half-acre lot. A circular driveway adds convenience and provides ample off-street parking opportunities. Inside, the layout is comfortable and well-proportioned. On one side of the foyer is a generously sized living room, anchored by a gas fireplace and a large bay window overlooking the front yard, on the other is the formal dining room. The eat-in kitchen was completely renovated in 2022, down to the studs and new wall insulation. It's bright and thoughtfully finished with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including the range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. At the center of the home is a striking double-sided stone fireplace with custom doors, connecting the kitchen and family room. One side serves the breakfast area, while the other creates a cozy seating space within the family room. The main portion of the family room offers plenty of room to gather, and sliding glass doors open to a paver patio and fully fenced backyard. Upstairs, is the primary suite with a large walk-in shower, plus three additional well-sized bedrooms. The hall bath has just been updated with porcelain tile, a white vanity, and a tub/shower with tile surround and glass enclosure. Additional highlights include hardwood floors throughout, newer windows, updated window coverings, a new front door, new porcelain tile on the front porch, newer washer and dryer, and new ceiling fans in the bedrooms. The interior has also been freshly painted in most rooms, and the roof was replaced in 2012. A large side yard creates a park-like setting-ideal for throwing a football, kicking a soccer ball, or just enjoying the extra space. Homes with this combination of location, updates, and lot size rarely become available at this price point. Private showings will begin on Monday April 6th.

A Quintessential Lake Forest Manor with Storied Legacy and Timeless Elegance. Perched on 2.5 acres along Lake Road, this iconic Lake Forest estate offers a rare blend of architectural pedigree, historical significance, and modern refinement. Originally designed in 1907 by renowned architect Howard Van Doren Shaw for Helen Poole Thompson, the home stands as a testament to early 20th-century craftsmanship and design. The original landscape was masterfully envisioned by Charles Platt and Rose Standish Nichols, later reimagined by celebrated garden designer Rosemary Verey, and meticulously maintained by Craig Bergmann. The result is an extraordinary harmony between house and garden, where every view is artfully framed. Inside, the 7,700 sq ft residence is rich with character and sophistication. Signature features include a paneled wood living room imported from France, limestone floors in the grand entrance hall, and a stunning garden room with panoramic views of the south lawn. Original French doors, restored with brass cremone bolts, offer historic charm with modern functionality. A comprehensive renovation in 1989 by Colfax and Fowler introduced thoughtful additions including a billiards room, family room, and an attached two-car garage. The kitchen, breakfast room, and butler's pantry were fully updated with custom cabinetry and hand-scraped pine floors by Van Krumpen Woodworks, blending warmth with luxury. Upstairs, the second floor offers five bedrooms, an office, and five bathrooms, all elegantly updated to maintain a timeless appeal. In 2010, Liederbach and Graham added a stunning architectural feature: a replica of Samuel McIntire's Massachusetts Folly, complete with a kitchen, 1/2 bath, and a versatile second-floor living space ideal as an office or studio. Overlooking the inground pool and tennis court, the Folly is equipped with geothermal heating for year-round comfort. Completing the estate is a charming coach house with an additional two-car garage, living room, bedroom, bath, and kitchen-perfect for guests or extended family. This is more than a home-it's a legacy property, meticulously maintained and thoughtfully enhanced for modern living. A true once-in-a-lifetime offering in Lake Forest.
