Remarks and Miscellaneous

Public Remarks: Casa del Lago: This Mediterranean-inspired California resort style home offers a rare mix of 130 feet of Lake Michigan frontage, distinctive craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Originally built as the summer residence of Dr. William Scholl, famed "Foot Doctor to the World," the home reflects an era of gracious estate luxury. Reimagined under the direction of acclaimed architect Howard Holtzman, and carefully maintained since then, Casa del Lago blends historic character with refined updates. From Lake Shore Drive, this iconic residence presents a graceful two-story profile, while from the lakeside its true grandeur is revealed -- four dramatic levels with expansive windows framed by wrought-iron balconets, a striking timber-frame pergola, a dune grass meadow, and a wide sandy beach along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The interior proudly exhibits historical architectural features of richly carved corbels, Venetian plaster walls, stylish hardware, and a limestone fireplace carved with lions' heads and the Latin phrase "not too near - not too far," a nod to the proximity to Chicago. The home is a showcase of custom walnut millwork, bespoke cabinetry, beamed ceilings and vintage lighting fixtures. From all levels, enjoy panoramic views that stretch from the Chicago skyline to the Michigan dunes. On the main level, a true cook's kitchen opens to a lakeside great room for more intimate dining with a casual living space, while the expansive living room and lakeside dining room accommodate larger gatherings/parties. The top-floor primary suite is a sanctuary, featuring dual hand-crafted tile and stone baths, a walk-in closet, a dressing room, private study, sitting room and a serene rooftop deck. Additional amenities elevate the experience, including splendid guest quarters, a fitness room, wine cellar and a lakefront terrace made for gathering, with room for outdoor dining, lounging, firepit and games, all with direct access to a low bluff beach. Owner has RE license.
