Wow... a rare opportunity to own a piece of East Lake Forest history! Recognized by the Lake Forest Historical Preservation Foundation, this enchanting 4 bedroom 2.1 bath Chicago-style bungalow has been continually restored and updated with historically significant materials. Nestled on a pristinely manicured lot on quiet Wildwood Road, this beauty is adorned with Artisan ceramic tile shingles formerly extracted from the Walden Estate dating back to 1913. These hand made tiles were placed on the house in 2000 by architect Dan Sutherland as part of a 3 year complete renovation that included additions to the front and back of the house, as well as new electrical and plumbing. Many vintage features including original red oak floors, beautiful 8in crown molding, and double hung windows with storms and screens seasonally still remain, along with updates for today's living that make this home a perfect blend of charm and function. New in last 6 months are Whirlpool stainless steel kitchen appliances, new LG washer & dryer and new basement toilet. Many rooms freshly painted in today's popular and neutral grey tones. Romantic primary bedroom has cozy sitting room with beautiful architectural windows and two spacious closets. 2nd floor loft area offers a great playroom adjacent to the two other upstairs bedrooms. Roomy first floor bedroom could double as a WFH office. Basement has an open design with many windows with great space featuring a mud room, playroom, laundry area , powder room, storage, and even a separate workshop and Costco supply room. An architecturally designed brick paver walkway leads you from the main house through the manicured gardens to an incredible elevated 500sq ft clubhouse, a surprise oasis above the custom 2.5 car garage, constructed in 2000. A forever gathering spot for holiday festivities or just relaxing among the tree tops in this enormous and airy 3 seasons hide away complete with vaulted ceiling and interchangeable window panes and screens. Truly a special home that is close to South Park and only one mile from Forest Park Beach and Downtown Lake Forest!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
