About This Property

Nestled within the highly sought-after Lake Forest community, this exceptional 3,800-square-foot waterfront residence offers breathtaking canal views from nearly every room. Thoughtfully designed for both elegance and comfort, the home features 4 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a private office, and an additional bonus room, with all primary living spaces conveniently located on the main floor.

Upon entry, you’re immediately drawn to stunning canal views through the formal living room, creating a striking first impression. A dedicated office is located to the left, providing a quiet work space while the formal dining room on the right offers an inviting setting for elegant entertaining.

The desirable split floor plan ensures privacy, with the luxurious owner’s suite serving as a tranquil retreat. This spacious sanctuary boasts serene water views and dual walk-in closets. On the opposite side of the home, three generously sized bedrooms, each with attached bathrooms provide comfort and privacy for family or guests.

At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen is designed to impress, featuring a large center island, breakfast bar, eat-in dining area, granite countertops, 42-inch cabinetry, and newly updated stainless steel appliances (2024). The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, creating a perfect space for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Throughout the home, plantation shutters and a sophisticated blend of hardwood and tile flooring add warmth and timeless style.

Upstairs, a spacious bonus room with a full bathroom and 3 additional storage closets offers incredible versatility—perfect as a guest suite, media room, or an envy worthy private retreat.

The exterior is equally striking, highlighted by a grand double-door entry, a barrel tile roof, a three-car garage, and a brick paver driveway that enhances the home’s impressive curb appeal. The private backyard, shaded by mature oak trees, provides a peaceful setting to enjoy the serene canal views.

Located just moments from the Lake Forest clubhouse and amenities center, residents enjoy access to a resort-style pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, a fitness center, playground, sand volleyball court, basketball court, and a 24-hour manned guard gate—offering a lifestyle of luxury and convenience.
