Downsizing near downtown.

After their children left home, this Lake Forest couple settled into a charming Dutch Colonial just steps from shops, restaurants, and the Metra. The home was thoughtfully updated to support their next chapter, with updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, and first-floor living spaces, including the conversion of a powder room into a full bath. Thoughtful improvements throughout the home created a comfortable, refined environment tailored to the way they live today.
