800 Lake Forest Pkwy

This stunning 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Lake Forest home offers nearly 4,000 square feet of finished living space and one of the most desirable and functional floor plans in the community. Perfectly positioned between the community pool and park, the beauty of this home begins at the curb with a huge willow-oak tree for shade and meticulously maintained landscaping that continues to the private feel of the backyard. Step through the solid wood entry door and you are welcomed by real hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and detailed trim work that gives the home a sense of character and refinement. To the right, the formal dining room features a tray ceiling accented by double crown molding and chair rail. To the left, the front sitting room offers another beautifully detailed tray ceiling and tall windows that fill the space with natural light. Continuing through the main level, a stylish half bath features designer wallpaper and matte gold hardware. The kitchen offers Corian countertops, real wood cabinetry, and an adjoining breakfast room surrounded by windows, giving the space an almost sunroom-like feel. The laundry room is conveniently located just off this area. Across the home, the large step-down family room provides an inviting gathering space centered around a stone fireplace and accented by wainscoting and elegant built-ins. Upstairs, the thoughtfully designed floor plan provides excellent separation between the primary suite and the home's three additional bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and its own sitting room—an ideal space for reading, a home office, or nursery. The primary bath offers a large tiled walk-in shower, soaking tub, generous counter space, and an oversized walk-in closet that wraps around the corner and even features its own window. The remaining three bedrooms are positioned along the opposite side of the second floor, creating privacy and separation from the primary suite. Completing the upstairs is a recently updated full bath featuring marble tile, updated flooring and lighting, and a new quartz double vanity. The finished lower level adds another highly functional dimension to the home, with a comfortable living area ideal for movie nights, game days, or entertaining guests. An additional finished room with a closet has been utilized as guest space, while another full bathroom adds tremendous flexibility. Two sizeable storage areas provide plenty of room for seasonal decorations and everything you would rather keep neatly tucked away. Outdoor living is equally inviting. The wood deck connects directly to a screened, Amish-built gazebo complete with lighting and a ceiling fan, creating a fantastic setting for relaxing or entertaining. The rear driveway provides additional parking and doubles as an ideal recreation space. The sellers have especially appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of community they have experienced while living here. And then there is Lake Forest itself. One of the area's premier neighborhoods, Lake Forest offers an impressive collection of amenities, including multiple pools, a community park, pickleball and tennis courts, walking trails, stocked ponds, and a full calendar of neighborhood events centered around the rentable lodge. Trash pickup and street snow removal are also included through the HOA. All of this is just minutes from shopping, restaurants, multiple golf courses, The Parklands, and convenient interstate access. With its exceptional floor plan, beautiful architectural details, abundant living space, outdoor entertaining areas, and outstanding Lake Forest location, this is a home that deserves to be experienced in person.
