The second level's special features include surprisingly high ceilings, a spacious loft area, multiple skylights, a fireplace, and two treetop terraces overlooking the wooded backyard. Outdoors you will find a wood deck with pergola and outdoor fireplace, an arched breezeway with stone wall, and a private property full of mature oak trees. This brick and stone home is located just two houses west of coveted Sheridan Road, and also just steps to South Park. This location is pleasantly close to train, town, bike paths, park, beach, restaurants, shopping, Lake Forest College, and schools... all while being extremely private and surrounded by nature. This home is eager for another renovation and will convey as-is.
