This newly listed property is a rare opportunity for both golf enthusiasts and nature lovers seeking a quiet and private life. This two-bedroom waterfront home is nestled between a small lake and the Crab Orchard Golf Club course. The road is simple and private with no through traffic. Step inside the home and enjoy stunning lake views from the great room. The focal point is a floor to ceiling stone fireplace centered between two expansive sets of windows and sliding doors. This room is the perfect place to curl up on the sofa in front of a roaring fire to enjoy the lake, watch a movie, or play games with your family and friends. Or perhaps you simply want a spot for viewing the wildlife and changing seasons of Southern Illinois while you read a book. Deer, geese, and ducks are only a few of the many animals that provide continuous entertainment. You can also fish or golf and enjoy having your own personal retreat. The property includes a private golf cart path from your driveway to the beautifully manicured course. The entry of this home faces Hole #4. Approaching the front door, you will find a gated and fenced courtyard of brick pavers and a covered front porch. Weather will not be a deterrent for sitting and enjoying the view or making BBQ on a grill with a natural gas connection. This home comes equipped with a gourmet kitchen including stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and a small counter height island for simple dining or food preparation. The primary flooring throughout is dark brown Pergo matching the beams of the soaring ceiling, staircase and loft railings. A large master bedroom and bath are on the main level of the house with a very nice walk-in closet. The upstairs boasts a loft which overlooks the great room and has additional views of the lake. The second bedroom and bath are located on this level and have plenty of closet space with ample storage. A large set of windows with a Juliet balcony provides an exceptional view of the golf course. While the location feels like you are living in the country, you are actually just a few minutes from a great small town community with a variety of shops, stores, restaurants and an airport with daily flights to Chicago. Additionally, this community has an excellent school system. It's a place where everyone can feel safe and enjoy their community members and events. The property is well suited for retirement living.
