In Kenilworth, a new lakefront residence of about 17,000 finished square feet is made to last. The exterior is stone and limestone under a slate roof.
Oversized windows take in clear views of Lake Michigan, and a large private beach lies just beyond. Four fireplaces warm the house, and a walnut library offers a built-in desk for quieter hours.
The kitchen is fitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and an espresso machine. The finished lower level includes an entertainment room with a fireplace, a refrigerated wine cellar, a full wet bar and a media room with surround sound. There is also a sport court.
A three-stop elevator, a backup generator and smart home prewiring round out the house. Plaza del Lago's shops and restaurants are close by.
