Twenty minutes from the Loop sits this secret lakefront luxury enclave. Park Ridge's Murphy Lake boasts some of Chicago's most stunning luxury homes, offering you a vacation-like atmosphere yet close to everything. Get away without having to go away. Living on Murphy Lake means you only have an 8 minute drive to Rosemont's vibrant nightlife and the Fashion Outlets of Chicago, the luxury outlet shopping experience with top designer brands - Gucci, Prada, Versace, Burberry and more. When you are ready to go away, O'Hare is only 10 minutes away. The central location of Murphy Lake makes getting around the Chicagoland area a breeze. Absolutely stunning, set on a double lot, this architectural Frank Lloyd Wright-like treasure offers spectacular, panoramic views of Murphy Lake. While the prairie-style home features natural stone accents, the entire home inside is glass, bright and light. The house boasts a 140 feet waterfront with a sandy beach, has two waterfalls, a tranquil pond, stone sea wall and walkway. The grounds have been meticulously landscaped, ready for the new owner. Two specious decks are overlooking the lake, adding to the value of this exquisite property. There is a private road leading to the house with a security gate. The designer kitchen has all new, stainless top of the line commercial-grade appliances including in-wall double ovens, enormous side-by-side Sub-Zero oversize refrigerator and freezer, wine cooler, professional gas stovetop and so much more. Can you imagine how cooking here while overlooking the lake at sunset would be pure bliss? Maybe cooking outside in your outdoor kitchen would be more fun? Hard to tell. Enjoy both! Hardwood floors throughout. Plenty of natural sunlight. Solid mahogany doors lead the way to grand bedrooms and gorgeous baths featuring extensive soothing steam showers and towel warmers. Two multi-story fireplaces, a wet bar and recreation room are the additional features of this lake house. Have fun swimming, kayaking and fishing in summer and ice skating and hockey in winter. Enjoy year round living with this spectacular home complete with a spacious, private beach. Do not miss this beauty! Welcome to Murphy Lake! Welcome to Chicago luxury!
