100 year old Cottage. Well maintained condition with decent finishes. Sweet little home with nice light. Has had many waves of rehab over the years but has retained a vintage feel. This one is a passing of the torch much has been done but much left...
to do. Much deeper than average basement. Value is in the location. Easy walk to downtown lake Forest, Metra & LFHS.

Very charming farm house from 1920s in very god condition. Could potentially finish basement but waterproofing beforehand is recommended. Walk to train and downtown Lake Forest.
