Home Details for 61 Sequoia Court

Privately commissioned newer construction completed in 2018, this exceptional architectural estate is discreetly set on a quiet cul-de-sac in East Lake Forest's coveted Onwentsia area. The home offers approximately 10,000 square feet of finished living space, including approximately 6,000 square feet on the main level, complemented by a fully finished, light-filled lower level. Created through a distinguished collaboration between Northworks Architects, Legacy Custom Homes, designer Frank Ponterio, nuHaus, and Mariani Landscape, the residence reflects a modern interpretation of classical European architecture executed with uncompromising attention to craftsmanship and materials. Constructed with premium natural and reclaimed elements-including Lannon stone, slate roofing, Chicago brick, ironwork, and 130-year-old barn beams-the home is a 2024 Lake Forest Preservation Award recipient. Designed for long-term livability, the thoughtfully planned floorplan emphasizes true main-level living with five en-suite bedrooms, 5.3 baths, six fireplaces, two laundry rooms, a 2,600-bottle wine cellar, and a heated 3.5-car garage. Integrated smart-home systems include HVAC, radiant heated floors throughout, lighting, audio, security, and a heated circular driveway. The heart of the home is an expansive kitchen and great room with 20-foot ceilings, reclaimed timber beams, and a wall of windows, supported by a scullery kitchen and butler's pantry for effortless entertaining. A four-seasons room with fireplaces and retractable doors seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. The fully finished lower level offers a media/recreation room, guest suite, exercise room, music room, wine cellar, and abundant storage. The 1.4-acre landscaped property features bluestone terraces, stone fireplace, built-in Wolf grill and Sub-Zero refrigeration, with room for a future pool or additional amenities. A discreet offering for buyers who value architectural integrity, privacy, and turnkey estate living. Priced below today's replacement cost. Further details shared privately.
