Description

Impressive Colonial with outstanding curb appeal! This updated home is set back from the street, sited on a .33 acre parcel with mature trees. With 2,898 square feet above grade, it offers 4 bedrooms, 2.1 baths, a finished basement, and an attached 2-car garage. Step inside to appreciate the expansive floor plan with wide open foyer. The large living room has maple wood flooring, recessed lighting, surround sound, crown molding, built-in bookcases, and tall windows that invite light from three sides. The separate formal dining room is an ideal spot to host holiday meals, or entertain family and friends. It has plantation shutters, crown moldings and French privacy doors. The renovated kitchen has an "open to family room" design. Highlights include 48" cherry cabinetry, a center island with granite top, newer smart stainless steel appliances, newly refinished maple floors, and an L-shaped planning desk. The family room is complete with brick fireplace and adjacent custom cherry built-ins. The laundry/mud-room provides quick access to the pretty rear yard. The second level has four generously-scaled bedrooms with crown moldings and large closets. The en suite primary bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet and renovated bathroom with marble vanity top, and seated shower. The sellers recently refinished the basement with Pergo plank flooring, a separate office/playroom, and a rec room area that has the potential to be a 5th bedroom. This entire space is light and bright. Additional recent improvements include: sewer line from house to street with 35-year warranty, 200-amp electrical panel, Class 4 impact-resistant roof with 35-year transferrable warranty and 6" oversized gutters, Marvin Ultimate Signature Collection windows in SW bedroom and basement w/doored egress, cedar fence with 6 X 6" posts, HVAC replacement, refinished hardwood floors, upgraded attic insulation, and new Maytag washer and dryer. A coveted location within the H.O. Stone subdivision, you will enjoy easy access to downtown Lake Forest, Lake Michigan, award-winning schools, bike/hiking trails, outstanding restaurants, and many convenient commuting options. Pride of ownership is evident in every room of this beautiful home. It is absolutely in move-in condition!
