About This Home

As of May 2025

FIRST TIME on the market in OVER 50 years! As you enter this lovely Lake Forest home, you are instantly greeted by the bright open living room with a high vaulted ceiling, natural light, and sliding glass doors that open to the backyard deck for indoor/outdoor options. Located to the right is an expanded elegant dining room with a recessed ceiling and lighting. The kitchen features include beautiful pull-out wood drawers for pots/pans storage, a spacious food/spice pantry, and a built-in indoor cooktop grill. From the kitchen, you can enjoy backyard views from the pass through windows at the sink that slide open to an outside food bar. Through the back kitchen door, onto the stunning wood deck, you are now entering one of the most coveted areas of the home…..THE BACKYARD!! An abundance of mature trees encompass the spacious backyard for a serene atmosphere to relax and enjoy the outdoor living area. Inside, to the left of the entry living room, is the multi/split level area of the home. All 4 bedrooms are located upstairs along with a loft area for multiuse. Through the primary suite, sliding glass doors open to a balcony that captures the tranquil views of the backyard trees from upstairs. As you descend to the family room, you are welcomed by a cozy living area with an impressive full wet bar, wood-burning fireplace, half bath, direct garage access, and sliding glass doors that open to the lower backyard area. This home is located on a cul-de-sac street and within walking distance to the HOA’s Lake Forest Beach and Tennis Club where members have access to tennis, pickleball, basketball, sand volleyball, multiple pools including a sandy beach lagoon, fitness center, billiards room, lake view lounge and much more! Proximity is close to restaurants, grocery, shopping, schools, and parks.
