46 Forest Lake Court

About this home

Some homes make a statement before you ever reach the front door. Here, it begins with the drive into Lake Forest—gas lamps glowing along wooded streets, glimpses of the lakes, and beautiful homes tucked beneath mature trees. There’s a sense of arrival, followed by the feeling that you can finally exhale. Tucked into a private cul-de-sac, this stately home offers an opportunity to make that feeling your everyday life for under seven figures. The circular drive welcomes guests, but it’s what happens beyond the front door that makes this home memorable. Imagine holidays around the dining table, conversations lingering long after dinner, and a fire glowing in the living room while everyone settles in for the evening. The updated main level brings warmth to the home’s classic character, with custom trim, generous bay windows, and spaces that invite people to gather. In the kitchen, granite counters, refreshed cabinetry, and an adjoining breakfast area set the scene for slow weekend mornings and busy weekday breakfasts alike. Behind double doors, a dedicated office offers a quiet place to focus, while the vaulted family/game room leaves room for friendly competition, movie nights, or whatever your next chapter holds. Summer may become your favorite season here. Picture afternoons beside your private inground pool, dinner on the composite deck, and evenings on the screened-in porch as the sounds of the day give way to the quiet of the trees. A covered patio offers another shaded place to unwind, and trails through the wooded grounds invite a little exploration without leaving home. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms provide room to make the home your own. The primary suite feels like a retreat within the retreat, with double doors, a bay window, its own gas fireplace, and a spacious bath with a separate tub and skylights overhead. Downstairs, the partially finished walkout lower level offers additional gathering space, a full bath, and abundant room for storage, hobbies, and projects, alongside a three-car tuck-under garage. The pool renovation and roof, gutter, and skylight replacements were completed in 2020; the A/C was replaced in 2019. But the lasting appeal is the setting, the character, and the life you can imagine unfolding here. Come for the Lake Forest address. Stay for the feeling of home.
