One of the finest residences along Chicago's North Shore, Fairlawn was designed by prominent New York architects Delano and Aldrich, and completed in 1923. This stately Georgian-Federal manor home epitomizes the best American architecture of the 1920's. It is poised on over three acres of sweeping lawns and cultivated green gardens with many specimen trees. The interior showcases a grand symmetrical scale with high ceilings, 11 fireplaces, a pecan-paneled library, a garden room with original murals, exceptionally spacious living and dining rooms, a third floor domed art studio and a De Giulio kitchen that opens to the family room. The addition of an outdoor pool and two bedroom coach house with 7 car garage (attached to the primary residence by a heated tunnel) provide luxury amenities for today's lifestyle. Fairlawn is a private retreat, located in the heart of east Lake Forest, one-half block from Lake Michigan and Forest Park Beach. To own Fairlawn is an opportunity of a lifetime!
