Ideally located in East Lake Forest, this charming 4-bedroom brick Cape Cod offers classic appeal, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable walk-to-everything lifestyle. Just steps from Sheridan Elementary, Lake Forest High School, the Metra, downtown Lake Forest, Lake Forest Beach, and the bike trail, the location truly sets this home apart. Inside, the home features freshly refinished oak hardwood floors throughout, newly painted interiors in a neutral palette, and a bright, welcoming layout. The kitchen has been refreshed with newer stainless steel appliances, while the upstairs bath has been enhanced with a brand-new glass shower. Additional updates include new lighting in the dining room and newer washer and dryer for everyday convenience. The finished basement provides valuable additional living space, perfect for a family room, office, or recreation area. Outside, the expansive backyard is a standout feature, offering mature trees, professional landscaping, and plenty of space to relax or entertain. A two-car garage with electric door openers completes the property. With its prime East Lake Forest setting, generous yard, and numerous updates, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and location-just minutes from schools, shopping, dining, transportation, and the lakefront.
