Timeless charm meets everyday convenience in this classic 1910 Colonial, ideally situated in the heart of East Lake Forest - just steps to Market Square, the Metra station, and Gorton Community Center. This 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath home offers 2,565 square feet across three levels, blending original architectural character with thoughtful, recent updates throughout. First floor offers a sun- filled office or play room, living room, formal dining room, with kitchen and mudroom updated by LaDuke in 2014. Second floor offers charming seating area or family room with three generous room sizes. Third floor offers lovely suite with bedroom and sitting area for guest, or can be used for an office. Behind the scenes, this home has been meticulously maintained with major systems already addressed: a new roof (2020), a new boiler and tankless water heater (2022), professionally perma-sealed and refinished basement (2022) and a newly replaced water service line (2026) - giving buyers real peace of mind on the big-ticket items that matter most in a home of this era.
