From the moment you enter, you'll feel the warmth and thoughtful attention to detail that flows seamlessly throughout all three levels. A spacious, welcoming foyer sets the stage perfectly. To the right, a sun-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace invites you to relax, opening into a cozy family room with rich refinished wood paneling and charming views of the front yard. Just beyond, a lovely screened porch overlooks the expansive backyard - the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer dinners, or quiet evenings. To the left, the gracious dining room is bathed in natural light and adorned with stunning wallpaper and a statement chandelier - an elegant space that flows effortlessly into the fully remodeled kitchen. Designed for both everyday living and larger gatherings, the kitchen blends beauty and function with high-end appliances, a striking marble-topped island, warm wood shelving, and custom built-ins with glass-front cabinetry. An updated powder room completes the main level with style and convenience. Upstairs, the second floor offers four comfortable bedrooms, including one with its own en-suite bath, plus an additional full hall bath. Tucked away on the private third level, the primary suite feels like a peaceful retreat, featuring lovely east-facing views over the back lawn, a cozy seating alcove, and a spacious bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and separate shower. The finished basement adds even more versatile living space, with a warm wood-paneled recreation room, mudroom area, ample storage, and a dedicated laundry room. Outside, the exceptionally large backyard provides both privacy and endless possibility - whether you imagine a future addition, a pool, or an incredible outdoor entertaining space. This East Lake Forest gem effortlessly blends timeless charm, modern updates, and exciting potential in a truly special location.
