About this home

Wow... a rare opportunity to own a piece of East Lake Forest history! Recognized by the Lake Forest Historical Preservation Foundation, this enchanting 4 bedroom 2.1 bath Chicago-style bungalow has been continually restored and updated with historically significant materials. Nestled on a pristinely manicured lot on quiet Wildwood Road, this beauty is adorned with Artisan ceramic tile shingles formerly extracted from the Walden Estate dating back to 1913. These hand made tiles were placed on the house in 2000 by architect Dan Sutherland as part of a 3 year complete renovation that included additions to the front and back of the house, as well as new electrical and plumbing. Many vintage features including original red oak floors, beautiful 8in crown molding, and double hung windows with storms and screens seasonally still remain, along with updates for today's living that make this home a perfect blend of charm and function. New in last 6 months are Whirlpool stainless steel kitchen appliances, new LG washer & dryer and new basement toilet. Many rooms freshly painted in today's popular and neutral grey tones. Romantic primary bedroom has cozy sitting room with beautiful architectural windows and two spacious closets. 2nd floor loft area offers a great playroom adjacent to the two other upstairs bedrooms. Roomy first floor bedroom could double as a WFH office. Basement has an open design with many windows with great space featuring a mud room, playroom, laundry area , powder room, storage, and even a separate workshop and Costco supply room. An architecturally designed brick paver walkway leads you from the main house through the manicured gardens to an incredible elevated 500sq ft clubhouse, a surprise oasis above the custom 2.5 car garage, constructed in 2000. A forever gathering spot for holiday festivities or just relaxing among the tree tops in this enormous and airy 3 seasons hide away complete with vaulted ceiling and interchangeable window panes and screens. Truly a special home that is close to South Park and only one mile from Forest Park Beach and Downtown Lake Forest!

Just the right size and just the right charm in this Chicago-style bungalow with a couple of unexpected surprises found at the back of the house -- a family room with soaring ceilings, and a playful, treehouse-like screen porch perched above the detached garage. Built in the 1920s and expanded in 2000, the exterior is adobe-style stucco. The front and rear addition walls are clad in reclaimed ceramic tile, designed in 1913 to be fireproof and appear as weathered wood shingles for Cyrus McCormick, Jr.'s "Walden" shingle-style house in Lake Forest. Just inside the front door, a ribbon of windows floods the front sunroom with natural light. Other first floor features include hardwood floors throughout, a large living room with fireplace, formal dining room, full bath, plus bedroom or optional den. A gallery style kitchen opens to the large family room with dramatic, vaulted ceilings and large windows overlooking the yard. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the family room and offers the perfect opportunity for a quiet reading nook or play space, and the large master bedroom has a lovely sitting area. Additional second floor rooms include bedroom #3, a hall bath, and an additional bedroom or optional nursery or craft room. Perhaps the most unexpected feature is the detached garage with second floor screen porch. Perfect for entertaining and enjoying summer breezes among the treetops. Close to town and a short bike ride to the beach.
