About This Home

Enjoy lots of living space for the money and the convenience of a maintenance-free, pet-friendly Crystal Point condo in downtown Lake Forest! This 2nd floor unit features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, an office, a large walk-in closet, a big east-facing balcony and in-unit laundry. There is a spacious living/dining area and the kitchen has granite counters, tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and space for a table. The balcony opens from the kitchen and bedroom 2. This is a superb location immediately north of Lake Forest's historic downtown center, so you have walking-distance access to the METRA station, shopping & restaurants. Plus, it's only 2 miles to Lake Forest beach & lake. The complex features extensively landscaped grounds with mature trees, walking paths, seating areas, and an in-ground pool. It's so nice you might feel like it's a vacation condo! In-building amenities include a heated garage space, elevator, exercise room, a guest / party room, & a secure storage locker. Buyer pays City of LF Transfer Tax of $4 per $1,000. Seller prefers a quick closing with post-close possession through the end of the school year. Taxes are currently $6,503.22 per year. Monthly assessment is $522.41 and includes water, common insurance, DSL internet, TV/cable, exercise facilities, pool, scavenger, & snow removal.
