This wonderful property represents the most affordable way for you to live in Lake Forest. There's a new furnace, newer windows and a load more updates, installed by the current owner, over the 5 years she's enjoyed calling this property home. But 689 E Illinois is so much more than that. Surrounded by much larger houses and directly opposite Lake Forest Athletic Fields, this picture perfect cottage in charming Lake Forest is close to the vibrant downtown and stunning beach. The open concept main level gives you a sociable, light and inviting living space.

With two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main level and two legal bedrooms in the basement plus an additional bathroom, laundry and bonus space, there is plenty of space for everyone. Take a look at floor plans to see what great space this home provides you for the price. During the warmer months you'll love relaxing on the deck, sipping a cool drink and enjoying the peace and quiet. Book an appointment to see it today.
