This Spanish Revival style estate is the finest new home built in Highland Park and should be finished by Nov 15. For all practical purposes, it is the last HP one-acre or larger lot that can be built on as others already have 10,000 sf+ homes on them. The nearly one acre of land is visually extended by being on the corner of the forested Armstrong Parkway, making it one of the most desirable one acre lots in Highland Park. Its architectural significance is credited to architect Larry Boerder, landscape architect Harold Leidner and designer Margaret Chambers. The bespoke approach of the developer is reflected in the home’s structure, materials and design. Looking original, echoing the glamour of original 1920s Highland Park homes, the fresh design heightens the current appeal. The uninterrupted sightlines in every direction make the home more modern than many modern homes. You will immediately see how open the distinct rooms are to each other, allowing sunlight to flow through the home. Walls of windows overlook the pool, lawn and gardens and accordion doors open to the loggias, furthering the connection to nature. You will appreciate the presence of Armstrong Parkway and the privacy of Belfort Place. Wonderful floor plan for a family or extended family, flowing spaces for entertaining. Every room becomes a lure. The guest quarters, pool house and its open-air kitchen extend the flexibility and enjoyment of the home. The quality of the structure includes 29 geothermal wells, deep piers and steel beams, a generator, carved Calacatta marble fireplaces, vintage Venetian hand-blown glass chandeliers, wrought iron pendants, lacquered walls, heated bathroom floors, elaborate beam ceilings, artisan tile, a La Cornue range. Balconies, porches, terraces and loggias extend the living spaces into the garden. You will find elegance, warmth and, most of all, a home you will love living in.
