About This Home

As of January 2026

Designed for those who love to entertain and unwind in equal measure, this custom-built residence captures the essence of refined coastal living. Thoughtfully designed by its original owner for both seasonal escapes and year-round comfort, the home offers gracious flow and beautiful lake views throughout. The main level showcases a spacious kitchen open to the dining and living areas, a tranquil primary suite with covered porch and lake vistas, and additional guest accommodations. Upstairs, a lake-side sitting area and deck frame the horizon, joined by four large bedrooms and a striking full bath. The walkout level offers exceptional entertaining space with a fireplace, wet bar, spa-inspired bath, and serene changing room — all opening to the covered patio, custom shuffleboard area, and pool deck beyond. Whether hosting a summer weekend or savoring quiet winter mornings, this home celebrates the very best of Grand Beach life — just a short drive from Chicago.
