About this House

Bright, spacious, and move-in ready, this 1,788 sq ft first-floor condo at the coveted 105 East Laurel building offers an exceptional lifestyle in the heart of Lake Forest, where tree-lined streets, top-ranked schools, and a walkable commuter train make every day feel effortless. Unit 103 is a rare find: a generously proportioned 2-bed, 2-bath home with an open floor plan, eastern exposure, and a large private walled terrace/patio, all in one of the North Shore's most beautifully maintained boutique buildings. Enter through a spacious hardwood foyer into a sun-filled living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The open layout flows gracefully into an L-shaped dining area and a well-appointed kitchen featuring quartzite countertops and backsplash, a stainless sink and faucet, stainless dishwasher, and a refrigerator with freezer below with room for a breakfast table and ample counter space for cooking and entertaining. Built-in bookcases in the open den add both character and function, while the graciously sized private walled patio, accessible directly from the living area, extends your living space outdoors in three seasons. The expansive primary suite offers a walk-in closet (including a safe) and ensuite bath featuring a generous shower, separate soaking tub, and an elegant vanity with abundant storage. The second bedroom is well-sized and offers two large closets, served by a fully renovated hall bath just steps away. In-unit laundry completes the thoughtful layout. Zoned for Sheridan Elementary, Deer Path Middle, and Lake Forest High School. Steps to the Metra commuter train, Laurel Avenue shops, and all that Lake Forest has to offer. No pets allowed with the exception of service animals. No rentals.
