About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to 716 Darnell Lane - your next happy place in Gurnee's sought-after Fairway Ridge! From the moment you step inside, this beautifully cared-for and exceptionally well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the perfect balance of comfort and functionality. Picture morning coffee in your sunlit breakfast nook overlooking the backyard- or unwind in the spacious family room, professionally wired for your dream home theater, with in-wall AV/Ethernet connection to an adjacent room featuring built-in shelving for a clean, streamlined setup. But the real showstopper? The BACKYARD! Backing to a wooded area, unmatched privacy, no neighbors in sight...complete tranquility. This one-of-a-kind outdoor retreat stands apart from anything else in the neighborhood. Whether you're grilling, reading or just enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, you'll feel like you're in your own private oasis. The outdoor space features mature trees, thoughtful landscaping, a large wood deck with storage underneath, and a brick paver patio ideal for entertaining. A below-ground Dog Guard fence and collar are already installed-just bring your pup! Inside, the home continues to impress with an updated kitchen (stainless steel appliances, pantry, sunny eating area), a spacious primary suite with private bath and walk-in closet, and a finished basement perfect for a gym, playroom or home office. Extra insulation in the attic and garage gives this home an Energy Star rating for year-round comfort and efficiency. Perched at the highest point in the subdivision (per the Village of Gurnee), this home also offers peace of mind with no flood risk - a rare and valuable feature. New Roof (2011), High Efficiency Furnace (2013), New Windows - including two Slider Doors (2014), New A/C Compressor (2021), Brand New Carpet (2024)
