Featuring 7 bedrooms, 5 full and 3 half bathrooms, and a fully finished basement, the home seamlessly blends everyday luxury with exceptional space for entertaining. A standout feature is the private in-law suite, which includes a separate entrance, full kitchen, master bedroom suite, office, dining room, family room, and its own patio ideal for extended family or guests. The main residence boasts a gourmet kitchen, open concept layout, cathedral ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a spacious second-floor laundry room. The finished basement includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated exercise room. Additional highlights include a 4 car garage and beautifully landscaped grounds that offer privacy, scenic views, and ample space to relax or entertain outdoors. This is a pre renovation offering. Remodeling is scheduled to begin on June 17, and the price will change significantly once construction is underway. This is a rare opportunity to own a one of a kind property that perfectly balances elegance, practicality, and space in a highly sought after Lake Forest location.
