Nestled on nearly 2.6 acres along Rt 59, this charming American 4-Square home offers a rare combination of space, convenience, and potential. With public sewer and water, and backing up to Grant Forest Preserve, you'll enjoy privacy and beautiful natural views. This property presents countless possibilities-whether you need space for vehicles, a large family home, or have an interest in rezoning. Located between two commercial properties, it offers seclusion from nearby neighbors, providing a peaceful retreat. Inside, the home boasts original hardwood floors throughout most of the main level. The expansive family room could easily double as a main-floor bedroom with its private bath, depending on your needs. The large living and dining areas stretch across one side of the home, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. The spacious kitchen features an abundance of cabinet space and a central area perfect for a dining table. The enclosed back porch, with an additional stove, overlooks the huge backyard and scenic forest preserve. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, each filled with natural light, hardwood floors (under carpet) and offering ample closet space. The hall bath serves the entire second floor. Access to the attic is via a closet (ladder required) for additional storage. The solid basement offers plenty of room to store belongings or create a workshop. The roof was replaced in 2014, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Conveniently located just minutes from Rt 12, downtown Fox Lake, and The Chain, this home combines the charm of a historic property with a prime location. Note the taxes!
