524 Forest Hill Road

Nestled in the desirable Whispering Oaks neighborhood of East Lake Forest, this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers ample space and functionality with classic charm. While it retains its original character, recent updates-including fresh, top-to-bottom paint and beautiful new flooring-bring a completely refreshed feel to the space. The main floor features a flowing layout with a kitchen, dining area, and a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Relax by the fire while enjoying stunning views through a gorgeous picture window overlooking your private, fenced-in 0.5-acre yard with mature trees. A raised patio off the dining area provides the perfect space for outdoor entertaining or peaceful relaxation. Upstairs, you'll find four well-sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with an ensuite bath, plus an additional full bath-both featuring dual vanities. The walkout lower level, featuring a large family room with a fireplace, a spacious laundry room, a private home office, and plenty of storage. Step down another level into the basement, where a craft/playroom and workshop provide extra space for hobbies or projects. New furnace and AC!. Additional highlights include tons of storage and an easily accessible cedar closet for all your seasonal items. Ideally located just up the street from Cherokee Elementary, this home is also a short bike ride or drive to the beach, downtown Lake Forest, and the Metra station, offering easy access to shopping, dining, and commuting.
