Property Description

Welcome to true waterfront living on beautiful Fox Lake! This move-in ready retreat has been freshly repainted and updated with all-new flooring throughout, creating a bright and modern feel from the moment you step inside. The inviting family room is the heart of the home, featuring soaring cathedral ceilings and a dramatic wall of windows that frame endless, panoramic views of the lake-bringing the outdoors in and flooding the space with natural light. The completely renovated kitchen is a showstopper, designed with today's trends in mind. Sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, crisp white cabinetry, and a breakfast bar make it both functional and stylish, while the open flow to the dining area allows you to enjoy lake views with every meal. The main floor offers convenience with a spacious bedroom and a fully updated shared bath, thoughtfully redesigned with modern fixtures and finishes. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms and a second completely reimagined bath, providing plenty of room for family or guests. Step outside and you'll discover why this property is so special. The deep, private yard offers a park-like setting, while the expansive deck provides the perfect perch to soak in sweeping lake views. A charming lakefront gazebo invites you to relax or entertain, and the firepit sets the scene for cozy evenings under the stars. With a storage shed, steel seawall, and a 2+ car garage, practicality pairs seamlessly with lakeside living. This home also offers unbeatable peace of mind-not located in a flood plain and connected to public water and sewer. The location is ideal, just minutes to the Metra, local theatre, grocery stores, library, schools, and the Fox Lake lakefront park. Nothing has been overlooked-simply move in and start enjoying the Chain O' Lakes lifestyle, where boating, fishing, and year-round recreation are right outside your door!
