Adorned with thir teen stone Lion heads, quatrefoil/ leaded glass windows and nestled in the wooded land-
scapes of Bur r Ridge, the Casa de Leones offer s a unique oppor tunity for the discerning buyer . Influenced
by ancient Andalusia and Addison Mizner - Palm Beach’s greatest architect - the majestic residence was
designed by the cur rent owner in 2002.
Fusing the extensive old growth oak, pine and hickory trees with manicured landscaping, the Casa de
Leones maintains a peaceful co-existence with nature and native wildlife. Conveniently located thir ty min-
utes from downtown Chicago, airpor ts, major highways, quality schools and parks, the harmonious tran-
quility, pr ivacy and escape of this highly desirable residence is a one of a kind rar ity.
The one plus acre is complemented by thir ty pr ivate acres protected from development to the south and
three multi-acre lots to the west, all heavily populated with old growth forest. Through well placed external
lighting, the nighttime ambience is nothing less than transcending.
The stately home includes real gold stucco over metal lathe, a green tile cement roof, a circular paver dr ive-
way, three car garage, quality construction and approximately 6,800 square feet (including the approx.
1,800 SF lower level) of highly detailed finished space. The front entrance is framed with magnificent ma-
hogany doors, stage setting limestone sur round, a large quatrefoil window, antique planter s and single
stalk Emeralds that mimic Italian cypress trees, all contr ibuting to the romance, charm, intr igue, power
and timelessness of the Casa de Leones.
The stunning inter ior includes unmatched museum quality floors, custom millwork, premium cabinetry,
two distinguishing fireplaces, European stenciling, sophisticated faux finishes, columns, arches, high ceil-
ings and old wor ld light fixtures. The Tuscan treasure contains fourteen pr imary rooms, including four -
five large bedrooms, five full baths, two powder rooms, detail and craftsmanship not found in this pr ice
range.
The indoor/outdoor living associated with Tuscan homes is captured through ideally placed stone balconies,
seamless flow, beautiful views and a spectacular covered Loggia with beams, arches, columns and a flamed
granite floor over looking the heavily forested proper ty.
