297 Scott Street, Lake Forest, IL
| Charming 3 Bed, 2 Bath Single Family in the Heart of Lake Forest | Superb location, just 5 minutes to Lake Forest's downtown shopping and restaurants, the Metra train station, award-winning schools, parks, and the Robert McClory Bike Path. Forest Park Beach on Lake Michigan is only a mile away, and Lake Forest College is easily accessible too. Inside, this beautifully updated home offers a spacious, functional floor plan: a large living area, a separate formal dining room, and a cook's kitchen with all stainless appliances and granite countertops. A first floor bedroom and full bath make single-level living easy, and a mud room with a newer washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. Upstairs you'll find two generous bedrooms, a loft, and a second full bath. Outside, enjoy wonderful front and side porches overlooking a shared yard, plus a shared driveway. The lower level offers abundant storage space. This is a tremendous opportunity in an unbeatable location!

Chris Muscia was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. From finding just the right home to walking us through to closing. Him and his entire team were awesome!

I worked with Chris as our realtor from across the country and him and his team made it as painless and easy as possible to purchase my wife's and my first home.

I am a very particular person about many things, and buying a home is a HUGE commitment and stressful decision. Tina helped me patiently through the entire process, never flinching when I would say...
