A rare opportunity in the heart of Lake Forest. Tucked within a private enclave, this impeccably maintained home offers beautiful curb appeal, a thoughtfully designed floor plan and an unbeatable in-town lifestyle-walk to town, the train, restaurants, shopping and more. A welcoming foyer with marble floors leads to high ceilings and hardwood floors. The spacious great room features a soaring cathedral ceiling, stone fireplace and French doors opening to a gorgeous bluestone patio and meticulously manicured garden. The well-appointed kitchen features custom cabinetry, a large quartzite island, eating area and and flows into a convenient first-floor laundry and mudroom. A handsome wood-paneled office with wet bar and a separate dining room complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features two walk-in closets and a private bath, while two additional bedrooms share a hall bath. The lower level offers an excellent recreation area along with generous storage. Outside, the landscaped backyard creates a wonderful setting for outdoor dining, gardening or relaxing. And when you want to head out, leave the car at home-historic Market Square, the legendary Deer Path Inn, Metra, restaurants, coffee and shopping are all close by. A truly special opportunity to embrace in-town living in Lake Forest.
