Outstanding value for this stately all-brick Georgian located in the desirable Park Lane neighborhood. This bright and sunny home features a thoughtfully designed floor plan, beginning with a spacious foyer and an elegant curved staircase. The first floor boasts 9-foot ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The inviting living room includes a gas fireplace, while a private first-floor office offers a quiet retreat. The kitchen opens to a sunny breakfast area and a comfortable family room, complete with a large walk-in pantry, double ovens, and a new cooktop-perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with two walk-in closets and a beautifully updated, spa-inspired bath. The additional family bedrooms share a hall bath with double vanities and a tub/shower combination. The fully finished lower level includes a fifth bedroom with a full bath, a cozy media room with a fireplace, a large recreation room, and plenty of storage space. Additional highlights include a three-car garage (with one tandem bay), a fully fenced backyard with a deck and patio, an in-ground sprinkler system, and convenient first-floor laundry. A new composite roof adds lasting value and peace of mind. Ideally located across from 12 acres of protected Open Lands and near the beloved Elawa Farms, this home also offers quick access to Heinen's, Target, LF/Northwestern hospital, a variety of dining options and Route 41 south for easy commuting. Enjoy all that the community of Lake Forest has to offer, including outstanding schools, recreation and the beautiful beach! Park Lane is truly a gem of a neighborhood!
