Renowned North Shore landscape architect P. Clifford Miller designed and developed the inspired grounds over fifteen years for his private residence, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a storied East Lake Forest home of exceptional provenance. Set just two blocks from Lake Michigan on nearly an acre, the property features Miller's signature native gardens and a tranquil garden walk meandering through year-round greenery, as featured on many local garden tours through the years. A well-preserved traditional clapboard residence of approximately 4,000 square feet anchors the .83-acre property. Improvements include a sweeping circular driveway that creates a sense of arrival, a new cedar roof, a thoughtfully updated kitchen, two renovated baths, and several newer mechanicals. Inside, refinished hardwoods, crown molding, and architectural niches infuse timeless character throughout. A classic brick-paved foyer leads to a gracious great room centered on a wood-burning fireplace, where garden views and natural light fill the space. Set behind double doors, a coveted main- level primary suite functions as its own private wing, complete with a skylit ensuite bath, jetted tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. The suite connects to the sunroom and an anteroom that adjoins a flexible room that can easily double as an office, dressing room, nursery, or potential fifth bedroom. Modernized through a timeless lens in 2024, the kitchen blends quartz counters, white cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, a Fisher & Paykel range, and a Bosch dishwasher. A dining room and powder room reside off the kitchen, allowing seamless entertaining flow. Doors from the main living areas open to a classic brick terrace and a fine gravel French courtyard, creating distinct outdoor entertaining spaces. Upstairs, two bedroom wings offer complete privacy for family, guests or an au pair, served by two recently renovated baths. A classic greenhouse, garden shed or playhouse, integrated sprinkler system, attached two-car garage, and 772-square-foot lower level complete this masterwork of North Shore heritage and enduring architectural style.

A PRIVATE WORLD WITHIN REACH OF CHICAGO. Some properties are defined by square footage. Others by architecture. Haweswood Estate is defined by something increasingly difficult to find: the ability to live, gather and retreat entirely on your own terms. Set on 2.32 wooded acres in Crete, Haweswood encompasses 10,123 square feet of living space across a historic main residence and exceptionally versatile coach house. It is an estate created for privacy, multigenerational living, effortless entertaining and a lifestyle with room to evolve. Commissioned in 1918 and completed in 1923 for Edward Hawes, founder of the Chicago Shade and Cloth Company, the residence reflects an era when important homes were built with extraordinary permanence. Eighteen-inch concrete walls, 12-inch concrete floors, plaster walls, original hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings, stately columns and five fireplaces speak to craftsmanship rarely encountered today. The 7,786-square-foot main residence offers four bedrooms, four full baths and three half baths, with expansive spaces equally suited to quiet daily living and memorable gatherings. Nearly a century after its completion, the home's architectural character remains remarkably intact, preserved through only a handful of stewardships. Beyond the main residence, the 2,337-square-foot coach house creates an entirely different level of flexibility. Configured as two separate residences with a combined three bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath, it provides private accommodations for extended family, guests, adult children, staff or an estate manager, while also offering possibilities for independent work or living space. The grounds transform Haweswood from a residence into a private retreat. Iron fencing, mature trees and a wooded backdrop create a natural sense of separation from the outside world. A tranquil creek borders the property, while the private swimming pool, cabana and bocce court invite long summer afternoons, intimate dinners and weekends spent entertaining without ever leaving home. A four-car garage provides generous space for everyday vehicles and a collector automobile. And while Haweswood feels removed, it is remarkably connected. Downtown Chicago is within approximately an hour, with Midway and O'Hare International airports providing convenient access for the frequent traveler. Nearby private golf adds another dimension to the estate lifestyle. Business, travel, dining and culture remain within reach while home feels decidedly apart from it all. Haweswood is not an attempt to recreate the great estates of another era. It is one. For the next steward, the opportunity is not simply to acquire a residence, but to inherit a setting for the life that comes next.
