About This Home

As of October 2021

Sellers have closed on their new home and want this one to find new owners quickly. Here's an amazing opportunity to move your family onto a quiet, dead-end street, in the highly coveted Lake Forest/Lake Bluff (65 & 115) school district! Incredible value with 2500 sq ft of living space w/ 1250sq ft above grade and 1250 below. The owners have lovingly updated EVERY feature of this ranch-style home. The roof, the siding, the windows, the major mechanicals, the flooring, the bathrooms and the kitchen have all been redone! They've even had solar panels installed on the roof. The kitchen has high quality cabinetry, granite countertops, an eat-in area, and a wine/coffee bar that nicely unites the space with the living room. Hardwood flooring flows seamlessly throughout the main level. The master bedroom has a beautifully updated ensuite bathroom and spacious walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and an updated hall bath complete the main level. Through a secret passageway in the kitchen, lies the stairs to the huge family/recreation room in the lower level. Also in the lower level, is a possible fourth bedroom (currently being used a a play room), a large laundry room, and a storage area. An attached two-car garage makes bringing in groceries easy peasy and there's plenty of parking in the driveway for guests. Commuting to the city and enjoying Lake Michigan's beaches are a breeze from this location. Note and appreciate the low taxes!
