Home Details for 1866 S Wilson Drive

Set on a wooded 3/4-acre, this 3,600+ square foot residence marries quiet privacy with magazine-worthy style. Lake Forest is celebrated for its lakefront, parks, and architecturally rich neighborhoods, and this address enjoys that same gracious, green setting with easy access to town, train, and shoreline. The showstopper is the spectacular kitchen, anchored by a picture-window bay framing the backyard and gardens. An elegant sunken living room opens directly to the patio, extending living and entertaining outdoors. A first-floor bedroom provides a refined work/reading space and can flex as an office space as well. Upstairs, the skylit primary suite is a retreat with a separate office, sitting room, and a lovely bath. With three baths up, the second level easily supports busy routines and guest stays. Downstairs, a huge, light-filled finished basement adds a versatile rec area with a wet bar and bath, new flooring, and abundant storage, think media, fitness, hobby, or play. Updates include: new gutters (2022), basement mitigation and drainage (2022), basement floors and painting (2024), partial new roof and new skylights (2023), new attic insulation (2024). Come see the light, the volume, and the setting in person, homes with this combination of land, layout, and livability don't linger in Lake Forest. Welcome home!
