About this home
This impeccably maintained and beautifully updated classic Lake Forest residence is a must-see featuring a view from the front porch that overlooks one of the city's prized possessions, West Park. New tennis courts, vast open fields, a baseball diamond, and an ice-skating rink in the winter are all "just across the street" from this truly exceptional property. This lovely home offers a center entrance foyer with French doors opening to a formal dining room on one side and another set of French doors opening to a living room with brick fireplace and built-ins on the other. A third set of French doors takes you from the living room to the adjacent study. Off the study is a huge family room overlooking a gorgeous brick patio and beautifully landscaped back yard. The updated kitchen features cherry cabinetry, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar. There's a dining area as well where the kitchen transitions into the family room. Note, too, the centrally located main-floor powder room. The second story features 4 bedrooms with 2 updated bathrooms. Beautiful hardwood floors are featured in all primary living areas on both the first and second floors. Newer thermo-pane windows are to be found throughout the first and second floor as well. For additional space, there's a fabulous, finished basement with 2 large independent rec rooms as well as a second half bathroom. Located just a short walk to Market Square and the commuter train. A beautiful property in one of Lake Forest's most sought-after locations. Truly an exceptional find.
