About This Home

As of October 2025

This spectacular East Kenilworth residence-crafted by the esteemed Heritage Luxury Builders-is a timeless masterpiece with over 6,600 square feet of finely curated living space. From its stately curb appeal to its refined interior details, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home offers an exceptional lifestyle for the most discerning buyer. The main level showcases elegant formal living and dining rooms, a richly paneled cherry library, and a chef's eat-in kitchen outfitted with premium appliances-all flowing seamlessly into a gracious family room anchored by a fireplace. Thoughtful design and high-end finishes elevate every space. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, featuring a fireplace, custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, heated floors, and a separate shower. Three additional bedrooms on the second level each offer beautifully appointed ensuite baths. The third level includes a lofted family room, guest suite with walk-in closet and ensuite bath, and generous storage. The finished lower level is a destination in itself, complete with a fully equipped movie theater, climate-controlled wine cellar, gym, recreation room, office, and an additional ensuite bedroom. Smart features include a Crestron system, central vacuum, and a backup generator. Outdoors, the professionally landscaped yard is enveloped by mature trees, offering shade and privacy. The patio, complete with a fireplace, sets the scene for unforgettable evenings under the stars. And best of all-this stunning home is just a short stroll from the boutique shopping and dining of Plaza Del Lago, making everyday convenience feel like a luxury.
