Outstanding opportunity to build your dream home on this gorgeous vacant lot in desirable far East Lake Forest location! Approximately 2/3 of an acre close to town, library, train, restaurants and shopping, as well as, Lake Michigan, the award winning beach and parks. The previous house has been demolished and the lot has been cleared and is ready for new construction to begin. There is a build-to-suit option available using plans which have already been approved by the LF Historic Commission, or design your own fully customized house from scratch. Cleared lots in east Lake Forest don't come up often; this is an amazing chance for new construction in a premier location that you won't want to miss out on!
