About This Home

As of November 2025

Remodeled masonry three bedroom home across the street from Fox Lake and just a short walk from the Metra Station, downtown restaurants, shops and theaters and the new Lakefront Park & Beach. New in 2022: high efficiency furnace and water heater, roof and second floor carpet. New this month are the stainless steel appliances, washer & dryer, front and rear doors, bath vanity, first floor carpet and vinyl flooring & most interior painting. New Thermopane windows were installed several years ago. The Den offers a spacious guest closet and a full size stackable washer/dryer as you enter the 3rd Bedroom. You'll love the Oak cabinetry in the Kitchen and the sunny Dining Room which opens to a 29' deck overlooking the spacious yard and firepit. In addition to the one car garage in the basement there is paved parking for 3 more cars. Plenty of room for another garage or shed if desired and lots of storage in the basement. School bus stops one block away on Forest Av. No Homestead exemption on taxes for current owner means lower bill for owner/occupant.
