for $3,225,000 with 6 bedrooms and 5 full baths, 1 half bath. This 6,064 square foot home was built in 2010.
Welcome home to 1121 Forest... a stunning 2020 build where exceptional design meets impeccable craftsmanship. Spanning four exquisitely finished levels, this meticulously maintained 6-bedroom, 5.1-bath residence is a masterclass in refined living, with every surface, finish, and fixture thoughtfully curated to achieve a cohesive, magazine-worthy aesthetic. A true showpiece in every sense. An impressive foyer sets the tone, unfolding into interiors defined by soaring 10-foot ceilings, oak hardwood flooring, and double crown molding. Custom wall coverings, designer window treatments, and statement lighting elevate each space. The formal living and dining rooms-anchored by a striking coffered ceiling-flow effortlessly alongside a bespoke, private office. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is as breathtaking as it is functional, appointed with double quartzite countertops, a marble tile backsplash, and finely crafted custom cabinetry. A full suite of paneled, professional-grade appliances-including a 48" Sub-Zero and 48" Wolf 6-burner double oven range-complements the oversized island with seating for six. The space opens seamlessly to a sunlit family room with a wall of handsome built-ins and a gas fireplace with marble surround, all framed by views of the professionally landscaped yard and private brick-paver patio. The adjacent breakfast area, crowned by a natural wood-stained barrel ceiling, also draws the eye outward to the lovely greenscape beyond. A beautifully executed butler's pantry with glass-front cabinetry provides both elegance and utility. The entire level reflects a sense of intentional design- balanced, sophisticated, and flawlessly executed. Upstairs, 9-foot ceilings continue into a serene and luxurious primary suite wrapped in custom grasscloth wall coverings and outfitted with remote-controlled window treatments. Two generous walk-in closets accompany a spa-caliber bath featuring heated marble floors, a glass-enclosed steam shower, soaking tub, dual marble vanities, and a private water closet. Three additional bedrooms, two beautifully appointed baths-including a dual-vanity Jack & Jill-and a thoughtfully designed laundry room complete the level. The third floor offers a sunlit, loft space with peaked rooflines and built-in window seating-an ideal setting for a media lounge, recreation space, or second home office. An additional bedroom and full bath provide flexibility without compromising style. The lower level is equally refined, with 10-foot ceilings, radiant-heated floors, and a gas fireplace with quartzite surround anchoring the expansive recreation space. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, it features multiple seating areas, space for a pool table, and an elegant wet bar with glass-front cabinetry, dual quartzite counters, and a beverage fridge with wine storage. A sixth bedroom and a dedicated exercise room further enhance the home's versatility. Ideally located just steps from Wilmette's vibrant downtown-home to beloved restaurants, boutiques, and year-round festivals-this home is also close to top-rated schools, the Metra, and just blocks from the beauty of Lake Michigan. Elevated in every respect, 1121 Forest is a rare offering that blends exquisite design, modern luxury, and an unbeatable location... it's not to be missed!
