About This Home

As of August 2022

There's nothing like home ownership! Here's your chance to stop the renting madness and start gaining WEALTH! Update to your liking while you live, work, and play here as this home is in good condition. Galley kitchen features newer cabinets, stove, sink, and faucet. A small table under the hanging light is a great setting for your morning coffee. The ample countertop space and portable convection oven allows you the ability to manage meals for any sized household. An adjoining separate dining room is large enough to accommodate eight happy diners! The main floor living room is huge and features walls of windows to let in an abundance of natural light. Hardwood floors adorn the main floor bedroom and spacious den, which has been used as a 4th bedroom by the sellers. Two tandem bedrooms, a small study upstairs, and lots of closet space can be found on the second level. The second-floor bedrooms comes with a view of Fox Lake from the Fall to the Spring months. While the current homeowners used the full basement for their home business, it would make a wonderful family room, bar, game room, or all of the above! The sellers have also invested in a newer roof and furnace over the past couple of years. Outside, you'll find a soft-sided car port is here to protect your auto from the elements and LOTS of parking space for any additional autos. There's also plenty of space to add a permanent garage for your vehicles and toys if that's in your plans. A nice flat yard is the perfect place for a child's playset or a set of Adirondack chairs to relax in after a hard day's work. What could be the best part of this great home is its ideal location! You can dip your toes in Fox Lake at Lakefront Park, just a few houses down the street. A short drive or a refreshing walk gets you to METRA, Fox Lake Theatre, groceries, waterfront restaurants and the historical retails strip of Fox Lake where there are shops, bars, diners, and cafes! You don't have to pay waterfront prices to live the Lake Life! It's right here waiting for you.
