Location, Location, Location! You can live approximately 1/2 mile from Everett elementary school, with a sidewalk to walk there, within a 1 1/2 miles to a grocery store and Metra train stop, with easy access to 94 or 41 and own 1.5 acres of land in Lake Forest! This is a 3,355 sq ft transitional style home featuring modern and traditional styling. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms upstairs; half bath on first floor and in basement. First floor has an open flow between the kitchen, eating area, family room and living room. An expansion of an original ranch home was completed in 1996 with family room and additional basement added on in 2003. All of the foundation was rebuilt during construction. Home features cedar siding, copper gutters, copper window flashing, 9' ceilings on 1st floor, 8' ceilings on 2nd, 2 furnaces, 2 AC units, 2-50 gal water heaters and a boiler. The boiler provides radiate heat to the primary suite, family room, and garage. The construction of the home, combined with the boiler, helps to make this a home that is energy efficient. Two basements provide unlimited options: children's playroom, office, man cave, workout area, art studio, etc. The main basement has two storage rooms and one large room. Garage has 14' ceilings (making a car lift possible) with a third, open air stall behind one of the front garage doors; great place to store a boat or trailers out of the elements and hidden from neighbors. Side door off family room leads to a dog run. The lot is extra deep providing a walking path for strolling to a private dock and woodland pond. Due to the depth of the lot, there are no homes obstructing your view of nature from a huge bay window in the kitchen. This is a great home to get the benefits of living in Lake Forest and the gift of enjoying the outdoors out your own back door. Buyer pays LF transfer tax $4/$1000.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
