About this home
Quality-built, brick and cedar Cape Cod-style home, situated on an interior lot in the highly sought-after Arbor Ridge subdivision. With its stately curb appeal and impressive scale, this residence offers both elegance and comfort. Step inside the foyer and immediately appreciate the spacious layout and volume ceilings. The curved staircase makes a stunning first impression, flanked by a formal living room with a fireplace on one side and a separate dining room on the other-perfect for entertaining. Boasting 7 bedrooms in total, the home features a versatile layout that includes a 1st floor bedroom with adjacent full bathroom, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, there are 4 generously-sized bedrooms including the primary suite, and a private 2-bedroom retreat located above the garage. The heart of the home features a renovated kitchen (updated approximately 3 years ago) with quality cabinetry, solid surface counters, and high-quality stainless-steel appliances (Miele ovens, Miele built-in espresso machine, Miele deluxe refrigerator/freezer, KitchenAid 5-burner cooktop and Bosch dishwasher). The kitchen seamlessly opens to the family room that has a masonry fireplace, and door that provides quick access to the rear patio and yard. Additional highlights include oak hardwood floors throughout the 1st floor, an elevator for added convenience in going between the 1st and 2nd levels, a whole-house generator, a full-finished basement, a brick paver driveway, and an attached 3-car garage. The Arbor Ridge neighborhood is known for its pride of ownership, tree-lined streets, and pristine landscaping. Owners tout the short distance to Everett Elementary School and easy access to the Metra station, Sunset Foods, Starbucks, and a variety of fine restaurants and local businesses. 1280 Lawrence is a terrific value, and an exciting opportunity to own this exceptional home in one of Lake Forest's most desirable communities!
