A rare opportunity to own a waterfront estate in the heart of Burr Ridge. Tucked away in a premier enclave and set along a private 8-acre lake, this architecturally stunning residence offers a setting rarely found in the western suburbs. With private lake frontage, boating and dock rights, and breathtaking year-round views, enjoy a true resort-like lifestyle from your own backyard while remaining conveniently close to everything. Custom built with exceptional craftsmanship and remarkable attention to detail, this home offers more than 5,000 square feet above grade, plus a 3,600-square-foot finished walkout basement. Dramatic architecture, soaring ceilings, and impressive room sizes create a sense of grandeur, while the thoughtful design balances expansive gathering spaces with comfortable private retreats. A dramatic wood spiral staircase serves as the centerpiece of the home, extending from the lower level to the second floor. Imported Italian and Turkish marble flooring in the foyer, 5 distinctive fireplaces featuring marble, brick and limestone, numerous custom built-ins and extraordinary architectural details showcase the quality, craftsmanship, and scale found throughout the residence. The main level features a luxurious primary suite, expansive living and entertaining spaces, and a two-sided brick fireplace connecting the kitchen and family room. Designed to capture the spectacular lake views, nearly 800 square feet of deck space spans the rear of the home, while the walkout lower level opens to an equally impressive 900 square foot patio overlooking the water. The primary bedroom, living room and kitchen all have water views and direct access to the deck. The walkout basement, with gorgeous views and a stunning limestone fireplace, offers incredible flexibility with a second kitchen, full bath, additional bedrooms, and extensive recreation and living spaces. The second floor is highlighted by a dramatic catwalk, separating a private ensuite bedroom from two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. Recent improvements include a new tile roof (2024), exterior siding and concrete work (2025), and new front exterior tile. Beautifully maintained and impeccably constructed, this exceptional residence seamlessly blends timeless architecture, extraordinary craftsmanship, and an unparalleled waterfront setting, without compromising the proximity of shopping, dining and services that Burr Ridge offers.
