Discover your dream home on a breathtaking 2-acre private estate in Lake Forest! This meticulously maintained ranch-style retreat offers the perfect blend of luxury, tranquility, and modern comfort. With timeless charm and thoughtful updates, this home is designed for both effortless entertaining and everyday relaxation.
