About This Home
MOTIVATED SELLER!!! 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. Whether you're grilling on the wraparound deck or just unwinding under the trees, this place is all about slowing down and enjoying the moment. Inside, the main living area has serious 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. And now for the fun part-this home is located in Shadow Lakes, a private, gated community that's all about that outdoorsy, laid-back lifestyle. We're talking miles of interconnected lakes, channels, and marshes where you can fish, swim, or cruise around in your electric boat (some areas are over 40 feet deep-big fish live here!). You'll also find a clubhouse, pool, sandy beach, pavilion, dog park, and courts for volleyball, basketball, and more. Tons of community activities too, if that's your thing. Just off I-55 and only an hour from Chicago, it's the kind of place that feels like a vacation-but it could totally be home. Ready to kick back and live that lake life? Come check it out-this one's worth seeing in person!
