Gorgeous Tudor Estate Centers Around Courtyard, Fountain
WOW House: The asking price for this 10,000-square-foot mansion recently dropped below $4.1 million.
LAKE FOREST, IL — This $4 million mansion may have been built in 1989, but if you lived in it, for just a moment you might think you had woken up a few hundred years ago in Europe. Perhaps you'd mistake yourself for a member of the royal family. Or at least a noble. Maybe a duchess or a duke.
Built out of brick, stucco, and stone on a 1.53 acre lot, the six-bedroom, six-bathroom 10,000-square-foot estate features a central courtyard including a centerpiece fountain. As you enter into a dramatic foyer, you'll notice two fireplaces, a 22-foot vaulted cathedral ceiling and a gallery overlooking the courtyard.

There's a separate coach house, a five-car heated garage, extensive gardens seven interior fireplaces, an outdoor swimming pool, a pool house — with one of those seven fireplaces — and hardwood flooring in nearly every room beside the home theater.
