About this home

This charming home, inspired by classic Nantucket Shingle Style architecture, was thoughtfully designed to create a casual, warm, and welcoming atmosphere. Offering approximately 4,400 square feet of living space, the home features generous rooms ideal for both comfortable daily living and gracious, easy entertaining. Perfectly situated on one acre, the property provides a wonderful sense of space and privacy while maintaining an inviting, relaxed feel. An expansive front porch welcomes you, while a screened porch provides a relaxing retreat overlooking the rear yard and patio. Inside, a true great room serves as the heart of the home - ideal for gathering family and friends. Nine-foot ceilings span the first floor, enhancing the open and airy feel. The kitchen overlooks the great room and provides generous cabinet and counter space, enhanced by a 60" Viking range, that makes everyone feel like a chef! Additional first floor living spaces include a den, two private offices (or optional bedrooms) with access to a full bath, and a convenient first floor laundry room and expansive mudroom. The second floor features a generous primary suite with a private bath and ample closetry. Three additional spacious bedrooms with generous closets complete the level - one with an en-suite bath and two sharing a very large hall bath. The finished third floor adds a fun and unique space, complete with a golf practice range with launch monitor. A large, finished walk-out basement provides even more flexible living and recreation space, along with tremendous workshop and storage space. Zoned HVAC with WiFi thermostats provide efficient environmental control. Outside, the fully fenced rear yard includes automatic gates for easy access. Completing the property is a three-car detached garage, fully heated and cooled for year-round comfort. The home is walking distance to Everett School and Everett Park and is super convenient to West LF commuter train, the tollway, shopping. Enjoy the Lake Forest community and all it has to offer; superb schools, restaurants, glorious beach, fantastic library and outstanding Open Lands preserves! The best you will find!
