In the heart of east Lake Forest just steps from Lake Michigan and all that Forest Park and Lake Forest Beach have to offer, is this updated gem on over 1.3 acres. Pride of ownership is apparent the minute one enters the home, it is meticulous. Renovations and additions since 2014 have included a lovely 4 season garden room with the 4th fireplace on the first floor and heated tumbled marble floors; a luxurious Library/office on the first floor with an adjacent full bath, allowing it to double as a first floor guest room. The 2nd floor primary suite was also reconfigured to have a sitting room, private deck overlooking the yard, his and hers vanities and dressing rooms; closet space is not an issue in this house, especially not in this suite! 3 additional bedrooms all ensuite and an ample 2nd floor sitting room, which could easily double as a 5th bedroom, as well as a 2nd floor laundry center complete this floor. On the 1st floor, the graciousness of the home is apparent, with the wide and welcoming foyer, that draws one instantly to the richly paneled family room overlooking the private and peaceful grounds. This room opens to the Deguilio kitchen a real masterpiece for the gourmet. bright and light with a generous breakfast room opening onto the patio. An adjacent media room features a concealed home theater, a fireplace and a trompe l'oeil of an island paradise. The newer garden room addition, will brighten anyone's day. The lower level has a recreation room, a bedroom currently used as an exercise facility, a full bath with steam shower, a full kitchen and two additional rooms for storage. Other improvements include a generator, beautiful garden paths, sprinkler system, landscape lighting and more than enough room for a pool.
