Description

Wonderful opportunity to own a distinctive Lake Villa home complete with ginger bread facade/curved windows dating back to the early 1900's. In 1995, long time owners invested in new foundation and large addition. Upgrades included full bathroom with jacuzzi tub and separate shower, massive main bedroom with vaulted ceilings and arched windows, sun room and private, wrap-around deck. Charming front parlor has original trim/curved walls and stunning period staircase. Large kitchen has separate dining area. The newer asphalt driveway allows access from Grand or the rear alley and plenty of parking. Detached 2 car garage and shed. Unique zoning allows home to be used as residence AND business. Lies in TIF District. Walk to restaurants, Lehmann Park, Cedar Lake, METRA, middle school. In Lakes High District. Full unfinished basement with interior and exterior access. Plus additional bathroom. Potential to add 2nd floor bathroom. Buyers can choose new floor coverings and updates to make it their own. Sellers downsizing. Truly a Lake Villa gem.
