Large main floor laundry/mud room which you can enter from the back door - a great landing spot for toting in the groceries! Upstairs has a large master/primary bedroom with good closet space, 3rd bedroom has large hallway closet, and the main bath here is extra spacious with a charming claw foot tub. The interior of the home is all freshly painted just a few months back, newer carpet, the hardwood floors with different wood in the center was a turn of the century feature for placement of a rug - they saved the money for the good wood around the perimeter so refinish or add your rug! This is known as the Benjamin Merchant Residence, built in 1842, and considered the Oldest Home in Waukegan! This owner is proud of its history and has taken great care to update it for today with new roof just 2 yrs ago, all new windows 8-10 yrs, brand new rear porch added a few years back, newer plumbing, newer furnace and CENTRAL AIR! Just minutes to Lake Michigan and beautiful Waukegan Beach, walk to the gorgeous restored Genesee Theatre with great shows - Long-term tenants (10 years) loved living here and were sad to leave. Check this home out now - a lot of living space for the price!
