The architecture of this two-story, 13-room house at 1150 N. Lake Rd. in Lake Forest, designed by I.W. Colburn and built in 1960, is certainly distinctive-from its pinkish brick exterior to its pair of two-story windows to its vertical slit windows in the upper floors. The grounds stand out as well, with three bluestone patios, a tennis court, a greenhouse and a separate studio building, added in 1993. But what makes the house most unusual is what you don’t see: the tunnel that connects the main house with the studio. Besides providing safe passage, it doubles as a wine cellar with a capacity for 1,000 bottles. BY THE NUMBERS: Seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, three half-baths, five fireplaces, 10-foot ceilings. There’s an attached garage for one auto, a detached garage near the studio for two vehicles and room in the studio itself for another car.
