A Whispering Oaks Colonial, Completely Renovated and Ready to Enjoy Set back from the street on a beautiful corner lot in Whispering Oaks, this stately 1966 Georgian Colonial has been transformed by a gut rehab completed in 2022 by local luxury builder Platinum Touch Industries. The result is a home of rare quality and polish. Every room, system and surface has been addressed, and nothing is left for the next owner to do. The kitchen is the heart of the home. Vaulted ceilings and skylights bring natural light over a generous center island and five slabs of Danby marble. Solid wood Omega cabinetry surrounds a Thermador suite of commercial-grade refrigerator and freezer columns, a gas cooktop and double ovens. Three sinks and two dishwashers make entertaining effortless, and the adjoining wet bar, finished with handmade Zellige tile from Morocco and two beverage refrigerators, was made for hosting. Widened openings connect the kitchen to the dining room and family room, so the whole first floor flows. The living room offers another elegant place to gather, with custom built-ins, detailed millwork, backlit glass shelving and a wood-burning fireplace. In the dining room, the Waterford lighting is original to the home, a graceful reminder of its 1966 heritage and the setting for memorable dinners. Throughout, the details reflect the same standard: Visual Comfort lighting, Kohler and ROHL fixtures, custom Schumacher window treatments and wallcoverings, plantation shutters on all three floors, refinished hardwood floors, and slate in the foyer, mudroom and kitchen. Closets on every level have been rebuilt with custom shelving, drawers and automatic lighting. The primary bath features a curbless shower with dual heads and a body sprayer, and a water closet with a pocket door. The lower level adds a kitchenette with a wine and beverage refrigerator, new carpet and fresh finishes. What you cannot see matters just as much. The roof, gutters, gutter guards and skylights were replaced in 2024, and a new Trane air conditioner and water heater went in during 2023. The home also has an added 200-amp electrical panel, a hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide system, and many new plumbing updates including a reworked drainage system. The work goes well beyond the finishes. Outside, mature landscaping, 100 new hydrangeas and a regraded backyard surround a patio and generous lawn for dining and play. A cedar fence, a new shed and an in-ground basketball hoop complete the setting in one of the North Shore's most established communities.

A rare marriage of history, architectural artistry, and modern 2026 luxury, Villa Turicum is more than an estate-it is a legendary landmark that helped define the grandeur & enduring legacy of Chicago's North Shore. Truly an extraordinary state-of-the-art continuation of a Rockefeller legacy set on more than five breathtaking acres with over 570 feet of private Lake Michigan frontage, making this the largest lakefront estate ever to be offered to the public. The experience begins at a newly protected cove beach, complete with two boat launches and a boathouse, where the dramatic approach from Lake Michigan towards the estate unfolds as you ascend up the original Italian-inspired curved terraced stairways to the historic grounds. Admiring the famous iconic shell basin fountain & a whimsical piece of Edith Rockefeller's legacy-her famed alligator sculpture, guarded by two beautifully carved pelicans- you reach the top of the bluff with stunning views of the 7-year-young newly built luxury compound in the distance. With the endless blue waters as the breathtaking backdrop, the manicured grounds lead to a spectacular resort-level pool, outdoor kitchen & separate stone spa elegantly accented by a sculptural lion's head fountain; this is the real front door entry to this 20,000 square feet of finished space masterpiece. With incredible unobstructed panoramic lake views from the entire East side, this open concept floorplan is all about relaxed luxury. The handsome walnut paneled foyer, limestone floors sprinkled with golden-hued stones imported from Jerusalem, accent the custom arched double doors & intricate wrought-iron curved staircase. Your own RL Polo lounge-inspired library feels like your ultimate private club, opening directly to the bluestone loggia with outdoor fireplace & spa area. Sun-drenched living room flows seamlessly into the elegant dining as the wall of French doors keeps Lake Michigan front and center. Tailored white Christopher Peacock kitchen with reclaimed wood ceiling beams and massive island in hue blue/grey quartzite organically blends with the lake and is paired with the bes of the the best: La Cornue, Miele, Waterworks, Sub-Zero. Breakfast room flows right into the cozy step-down family room with a coffered ceiling, FP, and wet bar. Take the elevator to the second floor where the primary suite takes full advantage of its lakefront setting. French doors open to a private bluestone balcony overlooking Lake Michigan, 2 separate custom closets and a luxe spa bath create a true private retreat. Four additional bedroom suites, each with their own personality, are beautifully finished with exquisite marble baths and outdoor access to enjoy lake views all year long. 2nd laundry room with 3 washers & 3 dryers off the 2nd staircase down to auxiliary mudroom area. And then there is the spectacular lower level with a wellness wing equipped gym, custom spa boutique with RIVA jetted tub, overhead rain shower, fireplace, steam shower and sauna. It keeps going with a 16-seat theater, billards room, lounge/club wet bar, joined by an impressive wine room with glass views of the underground 16-car garage with separate drive-up to snowmelt stone motor court framed by two three-car garages. The replication cost of just the home alone today is over $17m, as the civil engineering was that of a commercial-level build. Now add the 570 private ft. of lakefront on 5 acres, the resort outdoor hardscaped grounds, and then the amazing historic remenets. All of this is why Villa Turicum represents the pinnacle of lakefront luxury at an undeniable value, as this will trade generational hands to someone who cherishes and values the new build but embraces the history of owning a legendary piece of the North Shore. Villa Turicum defines the phrase "one of one"!

Ralph Lauren print campaigns, features in Architectural Digest, film productions, and even the latest Crate & Barrel holiday catalog all point to one thing: great architecture never goes out of style. And more than a century later, David Adler's "Innisfail I" is every bit as extraordinary today. Set on over two breathtaking acres, this landmark estate is ready now to be experienced through a new 2026 lens. The pool, spa, tennis court, and sauna all are just the side features that bring this magnificent lifestyle home to life, as David Adler designed is country luxury estate with one thing in mind...a destination for all to enjoy. His one primary focus with his interiors was "proportions"- always wanting his rooms to have volume with soaring ceilings but still feel intimate. He finished these spaces with endless sets of French doors bringing the gardens inside, and exquisite original details from intricate millwork to Versailles and herringbone parquet floors. The oversized reception hall immediately sets the tone, opening through 10-foot doorways to the spectacular great room where walls of French doors, handcrafted millwork & grand chandeliers frame the endless terraces & gardens beyond. Sun-drenched entertaining spaces flow effortlessly from the living to the dining room, richly paneled library and sunroom, while the Chef's kitchen, oversized butler's pantry and sunny breakfast room make the house equally suited for everyday living. Upstairs, a beautiful hotel-level wrapped wrought-iron staircase leads to eight bedrooms, including the expansive primary suite with fireplace and private dressing room. The third floor changes the mood completely with a speakeasy-style bar, bedroom and full bath-proof that a house this important can still have a little fun. And then there are the grounds which alone today to duplicate would be over $2m in just design and install. Originally designed by legendary landscape architect Jens Jensen, the estate unfolds across formal gardens, sweeping lawns and mature trees, with a pool, spa and tennis court creating the ultimate private country retreat. Innisfail I has been photographed, published and filmed for generations for a reason. Today estates can be built, not doubt about that, but there is nothing like architecture that can always withstand the test of time. NOW it's time to re-imagine this space with a hue of transitional colors, clean-lined furniture and a revamp from gold to simply white. This is a designer's dream palate as this estate is just waiting to be the next showpiece estate in the North Shore as the pedigree is already in place!
