MODERN LAKEFRONT RETREAT - Escape the city this August! Immerse yourself in refined lakefront living at this impeccably curated 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath modern retreat, nestled in the private community of Birch Groves. With sweeping west-facing views over Candlewood Lake with no homes across the water and incredible afternoon sun, this property offers unmatched privacy and dramatic views from every vantage point. Inside, every detail has been considered from the designer kitchen with Bosch and Jenn-Air appliances to the media lounge with fireplace, wet bar, and ice maker.
