Stepping into the double-height, open-air entry foyer of the main home, one is greeted by a long southern view over the garden and pool to the guest house. On the left, the great room with an imported French stone fireplace, extra-tall ceilings and four exposures features expansive spaces for lounging and dining. Two sets of French doors open onto the north loggia where there is a dining area and a sitting area with an outdoor fireplace. The library provides an intimate setting for quiet conversation while the chef-caliber kitchen with vaulted beamed ceilings and a dining area opening to the courtyard’s east terrace is both welcoming and perfectly equipped for preparation of gourmet quality cuisine.

Located opposite the main home at the southern end of the courtyard, the two-bedroom guest house also has its own formal entry directly from Oak Brook Lane. The ground floor, which opens to the poolside south terrace through three sets of French doors, has a full kitchen, a spacious living room with a wet bar. Additional features include two full bathrooms, a sauna, steam shower and dressing room. The ground floor guest suite has a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The second-floor guest suite has an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, sitting room and balcony. The second floor also offers a loft-style sitting room with uniquely vaulted ceilings.
