The primary bedroom has four southeast facing corner windows with new white blinds using push button operation. The primary bathroom is spacious with French doors, a double sink with a tub and shower, and an opportunity for updating. The other two bedrooms each have a panel of three windows, and the hall bathroom has a double sink with a tub/shower. The hallway linen closet is wide and deep. Two bedrooms and the hallway have ceiling fans, as does the kitchen. The basement is finished with a separate bedroom, including a long closet, and a bathroom with a shower. There is plenty of space for recreation and a sitting area. The family and living room as well as the basement are wired for stereo sound. Enjoy living in the Ponds of Lake Forest!
