Property Description

Introducing "The Adler," a magnificent French country estate, set on over two acres of breathtaking grounds in Lake Forest. Built by renowned architect David Adler in 1914, this 11,000 sq ft estate embodies timeless elegance. The property features an incredible grand foyer, parlor, library, media room, and an elegant kitchen with an additional service kitchen. With eight spacious bedrooms and ten bathrooms, this home is the epitome of sophistication and grandeur. Inside, you'll find grand chandeliers, ornate moldings, 11-foot ceilings, herringbone parquet floors, and custom marble throughout. The home also boasts luxurious 24kt gold Sherle Wagner bathroom fixtures, adding an extra layer of refinement. This French country-style estate offers resort-like amenities, including a swimming pool, spa, tennis court, and formal gardens. Owned by only four families throughout its history, the property retains a rich legacy and unmatched allure. The living room and dining room overlook the lush gardens, while the library, with its paneled walls, provides a secluded retreat for work or relaxation. The second floor hosts all eight bedrooms on one level, while the third floor offers an entertaining space complete with a "speakeasy" bar, dance room, sauna, and full bath. For car enthusiasts, The Adler features a three-car garage. Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, this estate offers the ultimate in privacy and serenity. "The Adler" is truly a masterpiece of architectural design and historical significance in Lake Forest.
