Property Description

Expanded and beautifully updated brick ranch in the desirable Northmoor Subdivision of East Lake Forest. Ideally located just steps from South Park and within easy reach of downtown Lake Forest and Lake Michigan, this move-in-ready home offers light-filled, thoughtfully designed living spaces, hardwood flooring throughout, and a full basement with egress windows. The inviting living room features a wood-burning fireplace with stone surround and built-in shelving. At the heart of the home, the updated gourmet kitchen boasts granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a large center island, built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, six-burner Viking gas cooktop with Viking hood, and a convenient planning desk. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the breakfast area and expanded family room, where vaulted ceilings and sliding glass doors bring in abundant natural light and open to the brick paver patio and beautifully landscaped, fully fenced, south-facing backyard. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat with a vaulted ceiling, oversized walk-in closet, and luxurious private bath featuring a double vanity, expansive walk-in shower, and radiant heated flooring. A generous second bedroom is complemented by a beautifully updated hall bath. Originally built in 1957, the home underwent an extensive renovation and expansion from 2001-2003, including updated electrical with 200-amp service, copper plumbing, Pella windows, solid oak flooring, custom millwork and doors, and significant improvements throughout. The property also features a 2.5-car detached garage built in 2003 with Hardie Board siding, attic storage, and an oversized 8-foot garage door, as well as extensive professional landscaping, brick paver walkways and patio, and a fully fenced yard. Recent improvements include a complete roof tear-off with new shingles, moisture barrier and ice protection, new skylight, and new Carrier HVAC system with Ecobee thermostat in 2023; new 75-gallon Bradford White water heater in 2024; new asphalt driveway in 2025; and fresh interior and exterior paint in 2025-2026. A beautifully maintained and extensively improved home in an exceptional East Lake Forest location-walk to South Park, town, train, and Lake Michigan! An extra feature of this unique ranch is that the home could be expanded with the addition of a second level as per City of LF ordinance. Showings begin Sept. 8, 2026.
