About This Home

A rare chance to own a true Lake Forest 2-flat, perfect for an investor or savvy buyer who wants to live in one unit and rent the other. This solid brick property includes two separate addresses and private entrances (578 Ct and 580 Ivy Ct), each offering a spacious 3Bd/2Ba layout with its own basement, laundry, and extensive storage. Step inside to bright living and dining spaces connected to beautifully updated kitchens featuring white shaker cabinetry, Quartz counters, stainless appliances, and luxury vinyl flooring. The primary suites offer double closets and private baths, while two additional bedrooms in each unit share an updated hall bath. Both units have been freshly painted and include newer A/C units. Additional improvements-newer roof, gutters, deck, and driveway-make this an easy, low-maintenance investment. A detached two-car garage provides added convenience. Set in the sought-after Lake Forest community, you'll enjoy acclaimed schools, scenic parks, charming shops and restaurants, and effortless commuting via Metra and major highways. Opportunities like this are few and far between.
