Welcome to 845 Highview Terrace, a timeless masterpiece nestled in the prestigious East Lake Forest. Designed in 1937 by architect William Presto for Carola & John Bowen, this residence stands on land once part of Carola's family estate. Cherished by one family for over four decades, the home exudes sophistication with its broad white-washed brick facade and inviting circular driveway. Step inside to a gracious foyer that seamlessly introduces the home's elegant interiors. The refined living room, complete with a stately fireplace, merges traditional charm with contemporary updates. An exquisite library, highlighted by antique paneling reclaimed from the McCormick estate, offers a tranquil retreat, while the cozy den provides intimate relaxation. The dining room, graciously proportioned for entertaining, enhances the allure of this residence. The modernized kitchen, equipped with high-end appliances, transitions effortlessly into a welcoming family room, perfect for both quiet evenings and family gatherings. The upper level features a generous primary suite with a separate dressing room and a beautifully updated bathroom with a separate tub and shower. In total, there are five bedrooms and three fully updated bathrooms. The basement boasts a recreation room with a fireplace, a naturally cooled wine cellar, a laundry room, a workshop, and storage/utility rooms. Outside, the stunning gardens, expansive terrace, potting shed, and spacious three-car garage complete this exceptional home. Recent updates include newer thermo-pane windows, and a new roof installation is scheduled as weather permits. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of architectural history.
