Nestled in the prestigious Estates of Lake Forrest, this rare 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Since purchasing, the owners have thoughtfully enhanced nearly every space, elevating both style and functionality. A striking front door, updated exterior lighting, and sweeping blonde hardwood floors set the tone as you step into the grand, two-story foyer. The formal living and dining rooms exude sophistication, featuring custom, automated window treatments that continue into the inviting family room. Bathed in natural light, the family room is anchored by a raised brick gas fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming space. The adjacent gourmet kitchen is a true showstopper, boasting stunning stone counters with a waterfall-edge island, a sleek stainless steel sink with a nickel faucet, a stylish backsplash, and high-end matte white and bronze appliances.

Off the garage-now equipped with electric car chargers-convenience meets organization with a chic half bath and a well-appointed first-floor laundry room featuring built-in storage. Upstairs, the expansive 24×16 primary suite impresses with wide-plank hardwood floors and a fully re-imagined spa-inspired en-suite. Heated floors, an expanded walk-in shower with custom tile and bench, a dual vanity, designer lighting, and a spacious walk-in closet create a luxurious retreat.
