Description

This stunning Lake Forest Estates home offers breathtaking views of the lake from nearly every room. The soaring ceilings and beautiful crystal chandeliers throughout the house add a touch of elegance. The majestic water fountain in the courtyard creates a tranquil atmosphere in the courtyard.

Private balconies off the bedrooms provide a peaceful retreat, while the wall of windows in the office allows for plenty of natural light, plus there's ample storage for your book collections. One of the two primary suites features French doors that open to the grand patio with the fountain and lake views, the other boasts a sitting room, a veranda, and great lake views.

The home is in need of some TLC, however, this presents a great opportunity for a savvy buyer to update and customize this faboulos home into their dream home. A place for each family member, space for those family gatherings, plus privacy when needed, this home offers the perfect balance. The backyard, complete with fruit trees, is a serene oasis to enjoy the lake views.
