Description
This beautifully renovated home offers an East Lake Forest location, historic character, and as much space as it does options! Situated between Western Ave and Sheridan Rd, you'll find yourself in a tree-lined, walkable neighborhood with easy access to the beach, the bike trail, and all the charms of Lake Forest's historic downtown district. It's a tour-de-force of space and flexibility. Whether entering from one of beautiful porches at the front or the back, once inside you will find high ceilings, wood floors, and hard-to-find amenities like an in-law apartment (home office / Euchre night hangout?) off the garage, a 3rd floor teen/au-pair suite, a first floor bedroom with full bath, and a finished basement. Talk about flexible living options! The home effortlessly combines vintage elegance with modern updates. Original panel woodwork, pocket doors, and custom built-ins enhance its charm. The updated kitchen features granite countertops complimented by a tumbled marble backsplash, custom cabinetry, slate floors and high-end stainless appliances. With 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, plus the studio space, there's ample room for everyone. The main floor has a bedroom and full bath, there are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths on the second floor, and at the top of it all is a third-floor suite with a private bedroom, bath, and loft space. The finished basement includes a laundry room, rec room, a half bath, storage closets, and shop/craft space. A large mud room and vaulted screen porch lead to a private brick-paved courtyard between the home and the garage/apartment. Beyond the apartment is a spacious and nicely landscaped yard with lots of room for gardening, sports, etc. Award-winning schools (Sheridan Elementary, Deerpath Middle, and Lake Forest High) are all close by. You will be impressed at the space and the charm. Come by for a visit - and wear your walking shoes - there is a lot to see!
