About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to this delightful ranch-style home situated on a rare, oversized lot in the highly sought-after Fox River Shores subdivision backing up to the Cotton Creek Marsh Conservation area. From the moment you step inside, you'll be greeted by a spacious living room featuring soaring vaulted ceilings and multiple skylights that bathe the space in natural light. A cozy fireplace serves as the focal point, creating the perfect ambiance for relaxing or entertaining. The open-concept kitchen combines style and functionality, offering ample cabinet space and an inviting eat-in area. Its seamless flow into the living room makes this layout perfect for everyday living and gatherings alike. All three generously sized bedrooms are thoughtfully located on one side of the home for added privacy. The primary suite includes double closets, while the two additional bedrooms offer great closet space and share a full hall bath. The expansive and picturesque lot is one of the largest in the neighborhood, .36 acres, a true nature lover's retreat filled with mature trees that provide peace, privacy, and endless possibilities to create your dream outdoor oasis. Additional highlights include an attached two-car garage, and a prime location close to Island Lake, Griswold Lake, Cotton Creek Nature Preserve, the Fox River, as well as nearby shopping, dining, and easy access to Route 176.
