About the Listing 3950 - 38913,37014,80720
Nestled on a private, tree-studded lot in The Ponds, this 3,112-square-foot Cape Cod-style home is a study in modern adaptability, with a rare first-floor primary suite and a large, partially finished lower level designed to evolve with life's changing rhythms. Classic white siding, black shutters, and a cedar shake roof set a timeless tone that continues to the interiors. A sunlit, two-story foyer opens to gracious spaces defined by crown moldings, hardwood floors, and traditional architectural detailing. In the great room, a wall of windows and French doors invite in western light and extend seamlessly to the outdoors, where a newly added entertainer's patio overlooks a deep, lush backyard. An open kitchen-complete with honed granite countertops, ample pantry storage, and an adjoining breakfast area-serves as the natural gathering place of the home. Elegant double doors lead to a formal dining room that can easily flex as a den or office. The first-floor primary suite enjoys serene views of the backyard, and features a wall of closets plus a spa-like bath with double vanities, soaking tub, separate shower, and generous linen storage. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms boast tall ceilings, expansive closets, and a skylit hall bath that fills the space with natural light. The lower level reveals a finished recreation room with generous ceiling height, accompanied by a flexible multipurpose room suited for a gym, hobby room, or second office, plus plenty of unfinished storage space. Outdoors, the spacious patio encourages al fresco living amid mature trees, creating a secluded, park-like retreat. Additional highlights include a first-floor laundry/mudroom, heated two-car garage, and recent updates such as a new front paver walkway and rear patio (2023) and upgraded attic insulation (2022). A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained home in The Ponds, one of Lake Forest's most coveted enclaves.
