Fabulous in-town home with amazing style and design in an incredible location across from West Park! One block from downtown Lake Forest, you will fall in love as you approach the front porch with New Orleans copper gaslight lanterns and a swing welcoming you to this beautifully updated home. The antique wide wood plank pine flooring graces the first floor which also has gorgeous architectural details and lighting. The first floor includes a beautiful living room, dining room, office area, kitchen, and family room. The fabulous kitchen features Woodmode cabinetry, high-end appliances and stone countertops with a peninsula island with seating area, and plenty of storage and workspace for all your kitchen needs. The cozy family room has an abundance of natural light overlooking the blue stone and paver patio, reminiscent of private European courtyards. From the family room, one may access the covered walkway which attaches the home to the large 2+ car carriage garage. The first-floor laundry is adjacent to the kitchen with an updated powder room. The second floor has two ensuite bedrooms, each with lovely fireplaces. Both private baths have been exquisitely updated. Additionally, there is a sitting room off of the primary bedroom with a wall of windows overlooking the private courtyard. The basement has great storage, a second home office area and exercise room with a walkout door to the back patio. The oversized 2+ car garage has stairs to a large, floored attic that could be finished for additional space. Approx $100,000 in improvements! Garage totally renovated and entire exterior of home painted in 2022. Near shops, restaurants, train, park and schools, this picture-perfect home is ready for you to move right in and enjoy!
