Property Description

Quietly tucked behind mature trees, this beautifully maintained home delivers the lifestyle today's buyers are searching for. With hardwood floors throughout, a flowing layout, and a kitchen designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining, this move-in-ready home is an opportunity not to miss. Rarely does a home offering this much space, land, and location come to market in the heart of Lake Forest. Set on approximately one acre just moments from shops, restaurants, and Metra, this home is walkable to everything Lake Forest has to offer both east and west of town while feeling like its own oasis. The heart of this home is the expansive kitchen, featuring rich dark cabinetry, granite countertops, new stainless-steel appliances, and a generous center island that anchors the space while seamlessly connecting to surrounding living and dining areas. Natural light pours through the abundant skylights, highlighting the clean lines and comfortable flow of the main level. The thoughtful floor plan offers flexibility for today's lifestyle, whether you need an additional home office, formal dining, playroom, or all the above. Here, the possibilities are endless. Upstairs you are immediately greeted by three well-proportioned bedrooms that provide space to grow, while the 2025 refreshed bathroom offers a clean, classic feel. Just down the hall is an inviting primary bedroom complete with en-suite, walk-in closet and private vanity space making this a true retreat. The basement offers a lovely recreation, gym space or flex along with an additional bedroom. The generous living areas of this home complete with a 2.5-car garage add both practicality and comfort. More than an address, this is a home to settle in, spread out, and truly enjoy everything that makes Lake Forest and 21 N. Ridge a special place to call home.

MY BLOGS

Vacant Land Scams are REAL

My Recent Experience with an Unauthorised Land Seller About 6 months ago, I received an email from (let's call him) Charlie. A "nothing out of the ordinary" email from a common (and mildly validating) charlie.....@hotmail stating: "I have owned the lot for many years, but a couple of years ago I moved from Illinois to California, and I would like to sell the lot. If you could please provide me with a market valuation, that would be great. We are looking to make a quick decision on this. Thank you, Charlie"

THE FRONT PORCH SWING

Oh, the memories. I remember my girls spending countless hours swinging front to back and side to side, hanging out with the neighborhood kids, splashing with the water hose, or crafting top-secret plans with their imaginations. It was awesome. How times have changed. With my two youngest girls slowly nearing college graduation and my older girls working hard in their careers, the days of simple life are taken over by group texts and long-distance daily check-ins. It's just not the same.

less is more, unless, it's for less.

Each day, I'd get my MLS home showing sheets ready, the electronic key card that opens lock-boxes, get dressed with minutes turning into seconds frantically starring at the time ticking away. All ready but just need to ...find ....one matching sock.
