Lake Life Just Steps Away! Welcome home to 23 West Lake Forest Drive, a charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath retreat tucked inside the vibrant Lake Monticello community! Imagine starting your mornings with coffee on your peaceful front sitting porch and ending your evenings with a barefoot stroll down to Beach 3 — just a short walk from your front door. Feel the warm sand between your toes, the cool breeze off the lake, and the sun setting over the water — all just minutes away without ever getting in the car. Inside, you'll find a cozy layout ready for your personal touch, while outside, a private back deck invites summer BBQs, lazy afternoons, and good times with friends and family. Plus, enjoy peace of mind with a new roof installed in 2021. Living here means more than just a house — it’s a lifestyle. Lake Monticello offers a 350-acre lake for boating, fishing, and swimming, five beaches, a full-service marina, an 18-hole golf course, two clubhouses, a community pool, parks, playgrounds, basketball courts, racquet sports, and even onsite dining at Lakeside Restaurant and The Pub. Whether you’re searching for a weekend getaway, a first home, or your new everyday oasis, this sweet spot is the perfect starting point for your next adventure. Come see it for yourself — and don't forget to bring your flip-flops! Front ramp is for sale or will be removed prior to closing.
