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!

A piece of Lake Forest history returns to the market for the first time in 27 years, presenting a rare opportunity to own a gracious Tudor Revival with historical provenance in Lake Forest. Set back on a private drive on 1.52 wooded acres and backing up to Open Lands, the estate offers exceptional privacy and serenity that feels like the English countryside. The manor was built in 1928 by Walter Frazier for the G. Corson Ellis family and remodeled by Frazier himself in 1957, complete with a fallout shelter in a nod to a Cold War past. Surrounded by nature and mature landscaping, the property feels like a magical wonderland filled with sweeping lawns, gardens and meandering pathways leading to your own slice of nature for walking or bird watching. Expansive walls of glass blur the visual lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. This six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath residence presents 5,151 square feet of carefully preserved interiors where plaster walls, arched doorways, hand-scraped beams, intricate moldings, custom paneled doors and paneling, and original hardware reflect its original construction. Graciously scaled formal living and dining rooms are anchored by fireplaces; the garden/family room, a Frazier-designed addition of wall-to-wall glass draws the landscape inside and remains one of the home's most distinctive features. The kitchen is fitted with a Dacor range, Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator, double ovens, with an island for casual dining and an arched doorway connecting to the family room and its garden-facing views. A den off the front foyer serves equally well as a home office. A three-car attached garage, large mudroom, powder bathroom, and potting shed with exterior access complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a sitting room, fireplace, three walk-in closets, and an ensuite bath, plus access to a second jack-and-jill bath. The second floor includes four additional bedrooms. The third floor adds a treetop bedroom and bath, and plenty of attic storage space. Completing the home is an unfinished lower level with a wine cellar, laundry, and workshop space. The center of Lake Forest is minutes away.

This historic Normandy manor on coveted Lake Road combines timeless elegance with an array of magnificent modern updates. A grand two story entry hall welcomes you into the massive estate, immediately establishing an ambiance of sophisticated luxury. The formal living spaces are designed for grand entertaining, offering sweeping views of the spacious, professionally landscaped yard. The fully fenced grounds serve as a private resort, featuring an expansive bluestone patio, a sparkling in-ground swimming pool, a custom relaxation pergola. Significant capital improvements over the last six years ensure absolute peace of mind, including completely rebuilt exterior brick walls, five fully rehabbed bathrooms, updated pool equipment, a renovated pool house, and a fresh coat of interior paint throughout. Even the hallway balustrades have been replaced to meet modern safety codes and meticulously stained to match the original historic woodwork. The heart of the home features a formal twenty-seven by seventeen foot dining room that boasts custom Chinese themed wall treatments, soaring high ceilings, and rich herringbone hardwood floors. Nearby, the stunning Peacock Kitchen has been recently updated to be light and bright. This culinary space features a generous center island, premium granite countertops, high end appliances, and an abundance of pantry and cupboard space, complemented by a dedicated planning area to the south.
