BUYER FINANCING FELL THROUGH -- SECOND CHANCE TO OWN GLORIOUS LAKE FOREST HOME -- Sophistication and charm abound in this beautifully updated vintage home located just East of historic Market Square and its charming shops and dining. This home has been extensively renovated and restored, and you will find impressive architectural details throughout including tall windows, almost 12 foot ceilings, beautiful original hardwood floors, eleven fireplaces, detailed moldings, original built-ins, and a grand, walnut staircase. This home enjoys four finished levels with six bedrooms, five full and one half bath, and living spaces fit for grand entertaining! There is an abundance of natural light; and scenic views of the gardens can be enjoyed. The basement was excavated and is now an amazing lower level with separate entrance and full kitchen, family room, dining room, bedroom, bath, wine cellar, pub room, and office. This home is tucked down a private drive and enjoys over an acre of property lushly planted with evergreens and sensational gardens which provide touches of color and flowers throughout the seasons. This home is just steps from free summer concerts and the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, and just a short walk to our sensational beach. Known as "The Evergreens," the house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The current homeowners have thoughtfully and diligently renovated this home continuously since 1977. This is a rare opportunity.
