This picture-perfect colonial is ideally located in desirable East Lake Forest, just minutes from the beach, downtown, and train. A welcoming front patio offers a peaceful spot to enjoy neighborhood views, while inside, timeless elegance meets modern comfort. The front entry opens to a spacious foyer with rich hardwood floors and exquisite millwork throughout the main level. To the right of the foyer is a cozy living room featuring a fireplace, custom built-ins, large windows that fill the space with natural light and French doors to the front patio. Additional French doors open to the hearth room and updated kitchen with a large island, wine refrigerator, and ample built-in shelving - perfect for both cooking and entertaining. Access to the back patio makes outdoor dining and grilling a breeze. A butler's pantry connects the kitchen to the formal dining room, which boasts its own fireplace and French doors that open to the front patio, making it an elegant setting for intimate dinners or festive gatherings. A hallway with exit to the backyard offers access to the detached 2.5-car garage. A lovely powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the serene primary suite features a fireplace and an updated en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full bath with heated flooring finish the second level. A walk-up attic from the second level provides generous storage. The finished basement offers a spacious family room, a full bath with glass-enclosed shower, and a cozy built-in queen sized bed nook ideal for reading, naps, and retreat for guests. The generously sized laundry room provides access to the new outdoor staircase that leads to the backyard. Complete with a covered pergola dining area, fire pit, hot tub, and a lawn area, the backyard is a true oasis. A cobblestone paver driveway leads to the detached garage, offering charm and functionality from front to back. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in one of Lake Forest's most sought-after areas.
