Situated between Western Ave and Sheridan Rd, you'll find yourself in a tree-lined, walkable neighborhood with easy access to the beach, the bike trail, and all the charms of Lake Forest's historic downtown district. It's a tour-de-force of space and flexibility. Whether entering from one of beautiful porches at the front or the back, once inside you will find high ceilings, wood floors, and hard-to-find amenities like an in-law apartment (home office / Euchre night hangout?) off the garage, a 3rd floor teen/au-pair suite, a first floor bedroom with full bath, and a finished basement. Talk about flexible living options! The home effortlessly combines vintage elegance with modern updates. Original panel woodwork, pocket doors, and custom built-ins enhance its charm. The updated kitchen features granite countertops complimented by a tumbled marble backsplash, custom cabinetry, slate floors and high-end stainless appliances. With 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, plus the studio space, there's ample room for everyone. The main floor has a bedroom and full bath, there are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths on the second floor, and at the top of it all is a third-floor suite with a private bedroom, bath, and loft space. The finished basement includes a laundry room, rec room, a half bath, storage closets, and shop/craft space. A large mud room and vaulted screen porch lead to a private brick-paved courtyard between the home and the garage/apartment. Beyond the apartment is a spacious and nicely landscaped yard with lots of room for gardening, sports, etc. Award-winning schools (Sheridan Elementary, Deerpath Middle, and Lake Forest High) are all close by. You will be impressed at the space and the charm. Come by for a visit - and wear your walking shoes - there is a lot to see!
