About this home
With approximately 1.38 fully fenced acres, over 5,500 square feet of living space, and an indoor swimming pool, this west Lake Forest property offers a combination of features seldom found in a single residence. The expansive grounds provide open space for recreation, gardening, pets, and outdoor activities, while the home's one-story floor plan offers flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Located near Middlefork Savanna Forest Preserve and Elawa Farm, the property enjoys convenient access to some of the area's most popular outdoor amenities. At the center of the home is a private courtyard, around which many of the principal rooms are arranged. Large windows, vaulted ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces contribute to a bright interior throughout much of the home. The layout includes several gathering spaces including a living room, family room, game room with wet bar, a kitchen with eating area and center island, and a sunroom. The indoor pool creates a dedicated space for year-round swimming and recreation. Multiple doors connect the pool area to large outdoor deck on one side and the courtyard on the other. An adjacent full bath dressing area supports the space. A refreshed primary suite overlooks the courtyard and includes new floor, fresh paint and a spacious bath. A separate wing includes three additional bedrooms and two full baths. The finished basement adds recreation space, a half bath, and storage. Recent improvements include a new roof in 2020, pool heater in 2021, pool room dehumidifier in 2026, primary bedroom water heater in 2026, and interior painting completed in 2026. Located within Everett Elementary School and Lake Forest High School districts, the property offers a unique opportunity to own a large ranch on a fully fenced parcel in west Lake Forest....
