Description
Nestled in one of East Lake Forest's most sought-after neighborhoods, this beautifully updated, interior designer-owned 5-bedroom, 3.1-bath home sits on a full acre just minutes from Sheridan Elementary, Forest Park Beach, and the wonderful shops and restaurants of downtown Lake Forest. From the moment you enter, you'll feel the warmth and thoughtful attention to detail that flows seamlessly throughout all three levels. A spacious, welcoming foyer sets the stage perfectly. To the right, a sun-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace invites you to relax, opening into a cozy family room with rich refinished wood paneling and charming views of the front yard. Just beyond, a lovely screened porch overlooks the expansive backyard - the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer dinners, or quiet evenings. To the left, the gracious dining room is bathed in natural light and adorned with stunning wallpaper and a statement chandelier - an elegant space that flows effortlessly into the fully remodeled kitchen. Designed for both everyday living and larger gatherings, the kitchen blends beauty and function with high-end appliances, a striking marble-topped island, warm wood shelving, and custom built-ins with glass-front cabinetry. An updated powder room completes the main level with style and convenience. Upstairs, the second floor offers four comfortable bedrooms, including one with its own en-suite bath, plus an additional full hall bath. Tucked away on the private third level, the primary suite feels like a peaceful retreat, featuring lovely east-facing views over the back lawn, a cozy seating alcove, and a spacious bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and separate shower. The finished basement adds even more versatile living space, with a warm wood-paneled recreation room, mudroom area, ample storage, and a dedicated laundry room. Outside, the exceptionally large backyard provides both privacy and endless possibility - whether you imagine a future addition, a pool, or an incredible outdoor entertaining space. This East Lake Forest gem effortlessly blends timeless charm, modern updates, and exciting potential in a truly special location.
