Move-in-ready Colonial in an incredible Whispering Oaks location within the Cherokee Elementary School district. Set on beautifully landscaped grounds with mature trees and exceptional privacy, this four-bedroom, 2.1-bath home offers 2,936 square feet above grade, plus a finished basement. Hardwood floors extend through much of the first floor. The gracious living room features a fireplace and custom built-ins, while the formal dining room provides ample space for holiday gatherings. The white kitchen includes granite countertops, a Wolf range, newer Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, and breakfast-bar seating. An adjoining breakfast room opens to the spacious family room addition, where a vaulted ceiling, walls of windows, and multiple sets of French doors fill the space with natural light and connect the interior to the yard. A well-designed mudroom with built-in storage and a powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs are four comfortable bedrooms and two full baths, including a generously sized primary bedroom. The finished basement provides additional recreation space and plenty of storage. Outside, the paver patio overlooks a quiet, park-like yard surrounded by mature arborvitae and layered plantings. Major improvements include a new roof in 2023, Renewal by Andersen windows in 2021, two newer furnaces, and one central air unit replaced in 2024. Additional features include two-zone heating and cooling, lawn irrigation, backyard storm drainage connected to the city storm sewer, and an oversized two-car garage. Walk to Cherokee Elementary and the train, with easy access to downtown Lake Forest and Route 41.
