About This Home

As of April 2026

Adorable and affordable! Enjoy Fossland Park just steps away. Excellent location on Winthrop Harbor's west side tucked away in a welcoming neighborhood full of nice folks and mature oaks. Large covered deck overlooks the fenced backyard. 5 minutes to the (new) wave-protected sandy beach, marina and bike trails! Roll up your sleeves, grab some paint and tools and enjoy the increasing value through your sweat equity. The pride of "I did that". Seller has removed old carpet; tack strips are in place for your new carpet choice. Storage shed and contents included. Home on well & septci but city sewer is available. Seller will only consider "as-is" offers and prefers cash offers. Survey uploaded. Check with your lender if they will allow as-is offers. Home does not have any appliances.
