First time on the market since 1980, this elegant French Normandy-style residence reflects over four decades of thoughtful stewardship by one family. Quietly set along a tree-studded lane, the nearly one-acre property opens to a serene pond and a sense of privacy rarely found so close to downtown Lake Forest. Graciously appointed interiors spanning over 5,000 square feet showcase crown molding, tall ceilings, finely detailed millwork, and a true sense of arrival from the moment one enters the foyer. Timeless in character yet highly livable for today, the well-considered floor plan allows for effortless flow between the formal living and dining rooms, the family room, and an exceptionally large kitchen anchored by a center island and generous breakfast room. A screened porch overlooks the backyard and pond, filling the home with natural light and tranquil views throughout the seasons. A private, wood-paneled library appointed with built-ins, grasscloth walls, and a fireplace offers an ideal work-from-home retreat behind French doors. The first floor also includes a guest bedroom with a full bath-perfect for in-laws or guests, and an attached two-car garage. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three bedrooms, an office, a dedicated laundry room, and a retreat-like primary suite with ample closet space and a spa-inspired bath appointed with dual showers, including a luxurious steam shower. The partially finished basement offers a recreation area and abundant storage space. It is rare to find a property that combines this level of privacy, scale, and architectural integrity just minutes from downtown Lake Forest, with its charming shops, acclaimed restaurants, Metra station, and easy access to the beach and lakefront.
