Discover a quieter existence, bounded by acres of protected Lake Forest Open Lands set on one of the largest lots in Meadowood with breathtaking sunsets overlooking the prairie year-round. This marks the first time this property has been offered sale in almost 20 years. A meticulously maintained Colonial of approximately 3,650 square feet has been elegantly poised on the site to maximize connection to the outdoors. From the moment you walk into the foyer, a sense of tranquility permeates the interiors as you glimpse views straight into the backyard. A gracious floorplan provides great flow and connection through the main rooms of the house. The owners have continued to improve the home over the years, exemplified by all of the thoughtful details and updates throughout. Welcoming, sun-drenched spaces are appointed with tall windows, hardwood floors and timeless crown moldings. French doors separate the formal living room from the family room yet can be easily opened up for entertaining. The expansive family room - the result of an extensive 2005 renovation - connects to a cozy den with a wet bar and fireplace. The remodeled eat-in kitchen boasts ample counter space, a center island, and premium appliances, and resides just adjacent to the formal dining room. The spacious Chicago brick patio creates further opportunities for relaxing amid the natural surroundings. Upstairs, five light-filled bedrooms each offer a tranquil retreat with panoramic views of the prairie. The primary suite is a haven with two closets and a newly renovated bath. The finished basement features abundant storage, a workshop and multiple areas that can accommodate everything from a media room to a rec room. Other appointments include a mudroom, first floor laundry room with wash sink and an attached garage with EV charger and epoxy finished floor. As one of the premier locations in Meadowood, this exceptional property is a rare real estate offering for Lake Forest; it may not be on the market again for another two decades!
