Property Description
This lovely, completely overhauled home in Lake Forest's quiet and highly desirable Arcady subdivision beautifully balances spacious modern living with thoughtful design. Though originally built in 1986, the home feels entirely contemporary, beginning with a grand main level featuring a great big family room addition complete with vaulted ceilings and a dedicated bar area. The heart of the home is the expansive center island kitchen, which features a large eating area, granite countertops, a premium stainless steel appliance package, and a huge pantry. Nearby, a convenient mudroom and laundry area add everyday functionality, complementing a second laundry setup located upstairs. A rare and highly desirable first-floor bedroom with its own private en suite bath completes the main level. Upstairs, the second floor is as spacious as can be, hosting four impressive bedrooms. This includes two bedrooms joined by a Jack and Jill bathroom, a third bedroom with an en suite bath, and a spectacular primary suite. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring a massive walk-in closet, an additional separate walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom equipped with an oversized shower, a separate soaking tub, and dual counters. The extensive living space continues into the finished basement, which makes excellent use of its square footage. It features a cozy secondary bar, a large media room, a dedicated exercise room, a full bathroom, and an adaptable extra room perfect for a home office or an additional bedroom. Outside, the home's impressive overhaul extends to a beautiful patio designed for entertaining and dining al fresco. This premium outdoor living space features a built-in fire pit, a gigantic grill, and a pristine, never-before-used Kamado smoker, all set against a peaceful, scenic backdrop that someone is absolutely going to fall in love with.
