Other 1st floor features include: NEW powder room, *First* floor laundry, and hardwood floors throughout! Upstairs, find 4 generous sized bedrooms including beautiful master bedroom and bath. Hardwoods throughout upstairs, too! The finished lower level is complete with rec room and private office for expanded living options, perfect for the 'Work From Home' lifestyle. An "oh my goodness" backyard featuring beautiful landscaping and fenced yard, lots of room to run and play! If you need to commute downtown you can find the conveniently located Ft Sheridan Metra station as your nearest stop. Your closest green space is a short bike/walk to Waveland Park (walking trails, ball field, playground, tennis courts, and pond). Also take advantage of your close proximity to public beaches! Best of all, don't miss all that downtown Lake Forest has to offer - tons of restaurants, cafes, and great local shopping!
