Imagine living in a lakefront vacation home all year long right in the suburbs of Chicago! This waterfront home on Bruce Lake in Downers Grove has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths (master bedroom has its own bath). Unique features include: basement that has a stone fireplace, dry bar and sliding glass door egress to back yard; 230 sq ft. heated and air conditioned workshop with large steel work table. Separate furnace and A/C for workshop and finished, 400+ sq. ft. tiled rec room with sliding glass doors to back yard and a great view of the lake that also connects to garage. Upstairs, 2 sliding glass doors (from living room and kitchen) give a great view of the lake and both open out onto a cedar deck for a great view of the lake, wildlife and sunsets. Outside, both front and back yards have lots of trees. The back yard has a small decorative pond that attracts birds and even the occasional frog. There are 2 storage sheds (1 very large one), large flowerbeds, a vegetable garden, a fire pit, a small boat/fishing dock and a cantilevered deck overhanging the lake (separate from the house deck) with built in wood benches - GREAT for outdoor entertaining. Access to private neighborhood park (reservable for special occasions) that has a basketball court, sand volleyball court, large fishing dock, playground equipment, sand beach and picnic shelters. The lake has good fishing for bass and bluegills and LOTS of wildlife you don't normally see in backyards around here. Great home for kids and nature lovers! Location of neighborhood means only local traffic and very little traffic noise, despite being 5 minutes away from 2 major shopping areas and both I-55 and I-355 and 30 min. from downtown Chicago. With access to all the conveniences of the suburbs but a feeling of remoteness from all the bustle, this is truly a unique home in a unique location for the suburbs of Chicago.
