GARDENERS, don't miss the POTTING SHED behind the 2 car garage. This 1927 built beauty also has some GREAT HISTORY having once been rented by Vaudeville-era star JACK BENNY (born in Waukegan), and featured on Waukegan's 2010 Tour of Historic Homes. Close to Genesee Theatre, Lake Michigan (Waukegan has a BEAUTIFUL LARGE BEACH) and awesome parks, this is a home for all, in all seasons - See it soon!
