“Lake Forest has a longstanding tradition of beautiful architecture and landscaping,” says Focus Development president Tim Anderson. “We have worked with our project team to design a community that evokes the look and feel of Lake Forest and appeals to today’s lifestyles. We are excited to see our vision coming to life.”

Designed with Arts and Crafts-inspired exteriors and transitional interiors, the residences at Kelmscott Park will feature large, contemporary floor plans. Upscale features and finishes will include 9-foot ceilings, hardwood oak flooring, stone countertops, Kohler fixtures, and stainless steel appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Asko.

The condominiums will be offered in two-, three-, and four-bedroom plans, and are priced from the $640,000s. Single-family floor plans, offering first-floor master suites and attached two-car garages will start at $1.459 million.

“This groundbreaking is significant not only for Kelmscott Park, but also for the greater North Shore,” said @properties co-founder Michael Golden. “We have been waiting for a community that meets the evolving needs of homeowners and prospective buyers in this area, and Kelmscott Park offers that and more with maintenance-free living, impeccable design and high-end finishes–all in a very desirable location.”
