1350 W Kennicott DR Lake Forest, IL 60045

Set on one of the largest and most beautifully wooded lots in Middlefork Farm, this timeless brick and stucco home blends architectural sophistication with everyday livability. A refined sense of craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the quarter-sawn white oak floors to the soaring ceilings, 8-foot solid wood doors, and rich millwork. Inside, the layout is designed for modern living and entertaining, with generously scaled rooms and abundant natural light. The heart of the home is the expanded chef's kitchen, updated in 2025 with freshly sprayed cabinetry, new hardware, new sinks, faucets, backsplash, and countertops. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast room and family room form a warm, connected space anchored by one of the home's four fireplaces. Additional highlights on the main level include a private paneled library, first-floor laundry and mudroom, two powder rooms, and an attached heated 3-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with an 11-foot coved ceiling, fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a luxurious spa bath finished in marble, a whirlpool tub, steam shower, and dual vanities-all refreshed with modern touches including new countertops, lighting, hardware, and a custom glass shower door. Also on the second floor are three additional bedrooms (two with a jack and jill bath, and one ensuite), plus a thoughtfully designed bonus room-featuring a new walk-in closet with built-ins and fresh carpet. The lower level is fully finished with a wet bar, home theater with new projector, exercise or fifth bedroom, full bath, cedar closet, and recreation room with fireplace. An outdoor Jacuzzi tucked into the serene backyard setting provides year-round relaxation.
