Welcome to this beautifully updated Colonial offering over 4,300 square feet of finished living space on nearly a half-acre in one of Lake Forest's most desirable neighborhoods. Perfectly situated near walking paths, ponds, and Lake Forest Open Lands trails, this exceptional home combines timeless charm with extensive modern upgrades and an unbeatable lifestyle. Significant investment has been made by the current owners to thoughtfully transform and enhance this beautiful family home inside and out. A large covered front porch welcomes you into a warm and inviting interior featuring refinished hardwood floors throughout the main level, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and a stunning two-sided fireplace. The spacious eat-in kitchen has been refreshed with newly refinished cabinetry, updated hardware, and newer appliances including the range, microwave, dishwasher, and dryer. The beautifully renovated family room is designed for entertaining, complete with a high-end custom bar area and seamless access to the newly redesigned outdoor living spaces. In 2024, the backyard underwent a complete transformation with the removal of the old deck and installation of an expansive raised brick paver patio, firepit area, regrading, and newly created side pathways. Upstairs offers five spacious bedrooms and two updated full baths, including a generous primary suite with an oversized walk-in closet area. The fully finished basement adds over 1,300 square feet of exceptional living space and was completely built out from unfinished space in 2023/2024. Highlights include a large sixth bedroom with new egress window, a luxurious full bath with all-new plumbing, recreation and family room with plumbing for a future wet bar, gym area, new windows throughout, and abundant storage space. Additional major improvements include a new AC unit, new garage door and opener, upgraded 1.5-inch water service, directional boring and underground storm sewer connection for sump pump runoff, extensive hardscaping, and removal of several large trees to enhance natural light and improve safety. Enjoy everything Lake Forest has to offer, including the nearby 26-acre lakefront for swimming, boating, biking, and walking, as well as Elawa Farm's beloved farm-to-table market featuring fresh produce, baked goods, and flowers. Conveniently located just blocks from US-41, less than two miles from the Fort Sheridan Metra station, and only minutes from Lake Forest Beach. An incredible combination of space, updates, location, and lifestyle.
