About this home

Experience effortless, elevated living in this beautifully renovated (2026) condo, set within an intimate boutique building in the heart of Lake Forest. A gracious foyer welcomes you into a home defined by refined finishes and timeless style. The living room makes a striking first impression, featuring a newly designed fireplace with luxurious Philip Jeffries silk wall coverings and striking designer lighting. Oversized windows fill the space with natural light, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The adjoining dining room is equally impressive, centered around a statement chandelier and enhanced by a custom built-in and a beverage fridge - perfect for entertaining. The kitchen blends style and function with crisp white cabinetry, a walnut butcher block counter, and smart storage throughout. Just beyond, a newly finished library offers a quiet retreat with custom built-ins and signature Philip Jeffries wall coverings - ideal as an office, den, or a 3rd bedroom. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a new spa-inspired bath with a double vanity, a zero-threshold walk-in shower with low-iron glass, and custom designed closets. A statement chandelier adds an elegant finishing touch, creating a tranquil haven. The guest bedroom, filled with natural light from its south and east exposures, is equally inviting, with a fully renovated second bath just steps away. Extensive upgrades include designer lighting throughout, custom built-ins, high-end carpeting, and refinished hardwood floors. Additional highlights include newly installed California Closets, Hartman & Forbes automated blinds in all windows, a Sonos sound system, three OLED 4K TVs, a remote-controlled fireplace, and reverse osmosis drinking water. Complete with two parking spaces in a heated garage, ample guest parking, elevator access, and a secure intercom, this home offers a rare combination of luxury, comfort, and convenience, truly move-in ready in an exceptional Lake Forest location.
