Situated on one of the last remaining one-acre homesites in Highland Park, where Belfort Place gracefully curves along Armstrong Parkway, this extraordinary Spanish Colonial masterpiece was conceived by architect Larry Boerder, developed by Blair Pogue and Pencil Point Construction, designed by Margaret Chambers, and landscaped by Harold Leidner — the result of an uncompromising four-year design and construction process. From the moment of arrival, every detail speaks to a level of artistry rarely seen: a limestone façade, hand-crafted cedar gates at two separate gated entrances, and a dramatic groin-vaulted entry introducing custom Ann Sacks and Walker Zanger stonework, a rock crystal staircase chandelier, and vintage Murano glass fixtures. Five-inch French oak flooring and hand-carved marble fireplaces anchor the principal rooms, while the chef's kitchen pairs Montecito cabinetry with a La Cornue range and an extraordinary butler's pantry. The formal dining room and adjoining living spaces feature custom plaster coffered ceilings and walls of glass overlooking the gardens, and a richly appointed study offers an intimate retreat with zebrawood millwork and a limestone fireplace. The five-bedroom residence is anchored by a main-level primary suite that is a sanctuary of extraordinary luxury, with a spa-inspired bath in irreplaceable Walker Zanger stone and white Thassos marble, and separate his-and-hers dressing rooms. Upstairs, each secondary bedroom has been individually designed with its own architectural character. The lower level rivals the finest private clubs, with a temperature-controlled wine room, full bar, and fitness room. Outside, a resort-style pool, formal parterre garden, cabana, and private detached guest quarters complete the estate. 4400 Belfort Place is not simply one of Highland Park's newest landmark residences — it is one of its finest, representing a level of craftsmanship, design, and permanence that simply cannot be replicated today.
