Property Description

Location is everything here. Just a short walk to Lake Forest High School and Sheridan Elementary School, with the lakefront and downtown Lake Forest an easy bike ride away, this is a setting that's hard to replicate. The home is a classic center entry Colonial with a welcoming front porch, set on a half-acre lot. A circular driveway adds convenience and provides ample off-street parking opportunities. Inside, the layout is comfortable and well-proportioned. On one side of the foyer is a generously sized living room, anchored by a gas fireplace and a large bay window overlooking the front yard, on the other is the formal dining room. The eat-in kitchen was completely renovated in 2022, down to the studs and new wall insulation. It's bright and thoughtfully finished with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including the range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. At the center of the home is a striking double-sided stone fireplace with custom doors, connecting the kitchen and family room. One side serves the breakfast area, while the other creates a cozy seating space within the family room. The main portion of the family room offers plenty of room to gather, and sliding glass doors open to a paver patio and fully fenced backyard. Upstairs, is the primary suite with a large walk-in shower, plus three additional well-sized bedrooms. The hall bath has just been updated with porcelain tile, a white vanity, and a tub/shower with tile surround and glass enclosure. Additional highlights include hardwood floors throughout, newer windows, updated window coverings, a new front door, new porcelain tile on the front porch, newer washer and dryer, and new ceiling fans in the bedrooms. The interior has also been freshly painted in most rooms, and the roof was replaced in 2012. A large side yard creates a park-like setting-ideal for throwing a football, kicking a soccer ball, or just enjoying the extra space. Homes with this combination of location, updates, and lot size rarely become available at this price point. Private showings will begin on Monday April 6th.
