An inviting wrap-around front porch welcomes you to this delightful Nantucket inspired house. Extensively rebuilt/expanded in the '90's, then more recently renovated creating an open floor plan with a spectacular kitchen w/large center island & breakfast nook w/built-in hutches & cozy banquette opening to both the family room & lovely backyard. The large family room features historic Chicago brick accents including arched doorways & a fireplace. The 1st floor also has lovely separate living & dining rooms & boasts wonderful light, great outdoor access & hardwood floors throughout. The 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms & 3 baths including a spacious primary suite w/well appointed bath, a walk-in closet plus a terrific & versatile office/bonus room. The basement has a rec room, tons of storage plus a deep pour media room. An extra wide east Lake Forest lot, beautiful landscaping plus a newer composite deck & front porch make this home as lovely outside as in. Too many improvements to list here, but recent/significant improvements include backyard tree removal/lawn resodded ('23/24), extensive insulation work done in attic & basement ('23/24), interior painted ('23/24), new roof, driveway, chimney tuckpointed (2022). All this in an easy walk to school, town & beach location.
