Property Description
Timeless Colonial elegance meets modern comfort in this beautifully appointed home on an interior street in the Lake Forest neighborhood. Expansive living areas and classic architectural details create the perfect blend of sophistication and warmth. The show-stopping gourmet kitchen commands attention with a dramatic 10' island, dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, and a 48" Wolf double oven range. With a Wolf microwave, warming drawer, and Scotsman icemaker, this kitchen has it all! A brilliant added touch is the Accordion glass door that opens wide to the resort-style backyard and allows for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Whether hosting a large gathering or enjoying a quiet pool day, you will crave spending time outside in this oasis. Adjacent to the kitchen is a family room for cozy gatherings and movie watching. On the west side of the house is a classic sunroom - an energizing space with a tiled floor, windows on all sides, and a French door to the patio. The primary suite is thoughtfully set apart, offering a tranquil escape with ideal privacy. Two of the bedrooms share a hall bathroom and the third has its own ensuite - it was the original primary bedroom when the house was built. Recent upgrades: new kitchen 5 yrs, Pella accordion door, Hunter Douglas motorized shades, 1st floor Pella windows, 4 yr old architectural shingle roof, new concrete driveway. This is truly a lifestyle property located in one of the most iconic neighborhoods of the Central Corridor - an enclave in the heart of it all!
