As of December 2021...and it’s even more beautiful in person! This listing includes 2 parcels (home is on .337) plus 3.593 acres in Forest Preserve. This home has been preinspected, radon tested and sewer scoped for the Buyers...truly move in ready! This one-of-a-kind beautiful cottage type feel home "in the woods" but yet nestled in the heart of the City in a fabulous location to bike paths, Gray's lake and downtown. This home has the character and charm of it's time with wooden floors in the formal dining room. The 3 skylights bring in the natural light and the north side of the home captures a beautiful scene of the wooded area behind them. The backyard welcomes deer, turkeys, etc. The main level is perfect for entertaining in the spacious kitchen with an eat-in area, formal dining and family room. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms (the master suite makes you feel pampered)! The lower level walkout has a family/rec room, office, mechanical room and storage. See attached list of Improvements.
