About This Home
Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this cozy-yet-spacious home sits on a beautiful, peaceful lot that feels like your own private slice of nature. Inside, the main living area has cabin charm-with extra-tall ceilings, a cozy wood stove, and a wood plank feature wall that adds just the right amount of rustic character. French doors open up to the back deck, letting in tons of natural light and making it easy to flow from indoor to outdoor living. It's technically a 1-bedroom home, but the loft has a huge walk-in closet, making it a great second bedroom option. Two full bathrooms (one with a stackable washer/dryer) make this spot super functional for weekend getaways or full-time living. Situated inside Shadow Lakes, a gated community known for its easygoing, outdoor lifestyle. The area features lakes and channels where you can fish, swim, paddle, or take out an electric boat. Amenities include a clubhouse, pool, beach area, dog park, and several sports courts. Located near I-55 and approximately an hour from Chicago, it offers a getaway feel without being too far from everyday necessities. If you're looking for simple lake living, this is one to check out! Estate Sale, sold as-is, CASH ONLY!!!
