The Enchanted Manor is a French Eclectic custom home in Lake Forest designed to blend timeless European architecture with modern livability.

Key architectural features include steeply pitched hipped rooflines, distinctive eyebrow dormer roofs, and an arched central entry that establishes a strong sense of arrival. Authentic brick masonry painted in a soft tone further reinforces the home’s classic French Provincial character.

Inside, the open-concept layout provides a visual connection between the playroom, kitchen, and main living spaces, creating an environment that encourages gathering and connection. Tall openings and a vaulted foyer enhance the sense of volume throughout the home.

Special spaces such as a private study, library, expansive outdoor living area with cabana, and an extensive primary bath elevate the residence while maintaining the warmth and intimacy of a family home.

Built by A. Perry Homes, this Lake Forest custom residence reflects a thoughtful balance of classic French Country architecture and modern family living.
