About This Home

This classic ranch offers a rare opportunity to create your ideal home just moments to restaurants, shops, schools, train and all that charming Lake Forest has to offer. The main level of the home features a light-filled living room with a fireplace and views of the front yard, a separate kitchen, three well-sized bedrooms, and a full bath. A dining room with an additional sitting room sits off the back hall. Hardwood flooring lies beneath the majority of the carpeted areas on this level, waiting to be revealed and restored. A partially finished basement has a paneled rec room, and a second full bath requiring renovation. A long driveway along the north side of the home provides access to the side entrance, and detached, two-car garage. Whether you're looking to renovate, expand, or simply enjoy the home's solid bones and unbeatable location, this property is full of potential. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to invest in location, lifestyle, and value. **HOME IS BEING SOLD AS-IS**
