Description

Set on a private 3/4 acre in west Lake Forest, this 3,600+ sq ft home delivers the one thing most buyers want and rarely find at this price. A move-in-ready, light-filled interior with a phenomenal layout and a showpiece kitchen overlooking the private back yard. Anchored by a full picture window framing the backyard, the remodeled kitchen features an expansive island, custom cabinetry, and direct flow to the patio. Perfect for everyday living and weekend entertaining. A sunken living room with floor-to-ceiling windows opens directly to the backyard. A first-floor bedroom doubles perfectly as an office, guest room, or quiet retreat. Upstairs, the skylit primary suite includes a separate sitting room and dedicated office, a rare, flexible setup to make your own. Two additional baths on the second floor support busy routines, extended guests, or multigenerational living. A bright, newly updated lower level offers a huge rec room, wet bar, workout area, hobby space, a half bath, and tons of storage. New flooring and paint (2024) make it feel fresh and current. Major updates include new gutters (2022), basement renovation + new floors (2024), partial new roof + new skylights (2023), new attic insulation (2024) This is the rare Lake Forest home where the land, layout, and light all work together. No dark rooms, no chopped-up spaces. Just privacy, volume, and views in every direction. Come see this gem in person.
