About This Home

As of July 2025

Charming Opportunity in Winthrop Harbor! Set on nearly 1 acre (with 2 pins), and 2,942 finished square feet, this spacious ranch offers incredible potential in a prime location near Lake Michigan, the marina, and just 1.3 miles from the Metra station - ideal for commuters to both Milwaukee and Chicago. The home features a classic open-air breezeway connecting to an oversized 4-car tandem garage with convenient front and rear garage doors. Mature trees and blooming perennials add to the property's natural charm. Inside, you'll find a generously sized living room anchored by a striking real stone wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings. Hardwood mostly with wood laminate floors run throughout most of the main level, with a flexible den, office, or eat-in kitchen. The formal dining room features sliding doors to the backyard, and the kitchen is equipped with oak cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (including double oven, fridge, cooktop, and range hood), and a unique arched pass-through. There are 3 main-floor bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own full bath, plus a second full bath with double sinks. Yes, some of the finishes are retro, but the solid layout and size offer a great canvas for updates. The finished basement expands the living space with a giant Rec Room (L shaped)a 4th bedroom, a full bath, a laundry/storage area (It even looks like there used to be a beauty shop setup in the laundry room), and tons of closets both on the main and in the basement. City water and sewer. Roof and furnace age unknown. Home is being sold AS IS, making it a fantastic opportunity for renovators, investors, or anyone ready to put their personal touch on a solid home in a desirable area. Don't miss it!
