With plenty of natural light and a serene atmosphere, this space is sure to meet all your needs and more. There is an exterior private entrance to this walk out basement. The home also features an attached, heated 3 car garage accessed off the laundry/mud room. The outdoor spaces are just as impressive, with two large patios and beautifully landscaped gardens, providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining and relaxation. The property boasts a front circular driveway for grand entrance and a separate back garage/service driveway designed for practical purposes, such as accessing the garage or for service vehicles to enter the property without disturbing the front entrance. This feature ensures a polished and organized appearance while also offering convenience and flexibility for residents and service staff. Overall, the private winding Walden Lane in East Lake Forest with ravines to one side of the street is a serene and picturesque drive that offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
