About This Home
As of April 2021Such a wonderful home! This stately New England Colonial is located on a private cul-de-sac, just north of Westleigh Road and east of Green Bay Road. The private 1.14-acre property has a backdrop of mature trees and woods, merely one mile from downtown Lake Forest (sidewalks to town). The newly designed exterior boasts upgraded Hardie Board and stone siding. Enter to find beautifully proportioned rooms, hardwood floors, windows galore and a high level of finish. The spacious Wedgewood blue living room, with floor-to-ceiling windows, has a wood burning fireplace with marble surround and traditional white mantel. The separate dining room is an elegant room with large windows that invite beautiful views of the rear yard. The updated kitchen features quality whitewashed maple cabinetry with new granite countertops and backsplash, an island, top appliances (Thermador, SubZero, Miele), a SS farmer's sink, hardwood floors and plenty of room for informal family dining. The lst floor office/library with custom cherry built-ins is a quiet "work from home" option. The freshly updated family room has hardwood flooring, a cozy brick fireplace and recessed lighting. There are four sets of French doors that open to the fenced yard, patio and wooded rear yard. Upstairs, there are four spacious bedrooms. The primary suite has hardwood flooring, a walk-in-closet, a wall closet and private bath. The additional family bedrooms are also generous in scale with excellent closet storage. The recently finished basement is a dream with recreation room, exercise room, full bath, kitchenette and plentiful storage! The basement ceiling is drywalled with recessed lighting for a "finished" look. The laundry room is on the first floor. Please note that the assessed value was recently reduced by the Lake County Board of Review by 21%. This will be reflected in the 2020 tax bill. 478 E. Westleigh Road is light, bright, updated and move-in ready!
