Property Description
Get ready to FALL in love with this charming and cozy raised ranch, where comfort and relaxation is key! You'll feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The inviting living room offers a warm and welcoming space for lazy afternoon naps or entertaining guests. You'll also love the quaint kitchen, boasting plenty of cabinets and counter space, perfect for all your cooking adventures. The adjacent dining room, with its easy-to-clean tile floors (you'll appreciate that after hosting all those parties during the holiday season lol), provides a seamless flow for meals with family and friends. Both recently refreshed full bathrooms bring a touch of elegance and style to your daily routine. Four generously sized, freshly painted bedrooms feature gleaming hardwood floors and large windows for tons of natural light. The lower level is packed with possibilities, featuring an office space ideal for working from home, a laundry room for convenience, and an enormous family room where you can enjoy everything from rowdy family game nights to movie marathons to curling up with a good book. You can also use this flexible space for a killer mancave, studio, playroom- The choice is yours! Or, turn this space back into a 2.5 car garage for just a few thousand dollars. Don't stop here, however, head outside where the perks keep coming- Enjoy your morning coffee on the brick patio, framed by lush greenery and newer windows and entrance doors that not only enhance privacy but give the home a fresh, updated look. The fenced-in yard offers peace of mind and a safe place for the kiddos and pets to enjoy the sunshine, while the asphalt driveway on the side of the house ensures plenty of parking and a polished exterior. And I've saved the best for last- The fruit trees! Imagine picking all of your own apples, peaches, and plums right from your backyard! This spacious outdoor haven is the perfect setting for BBQs, family gatherings, or simply soaking up the summer sun. Current owners installed solar panels, which saves you money all season long! All located in the heart of uniquely historic Zion and conveniently nestled between Chicago and Milwaukee, which makes it a great spot for those who want small-town living but still have access to big city amenities. It's roughly an hour's drive to either city, so trips to museums, fabulous restaurants, shopping, or nightlife are easy! Also near Illinois Beach State Park offering miles of sandy beaches perfect for swimming, picnicking, and hiking. The park also has trails through dunes, marshes, and forests, so it's a nature lover's paradise! With such a great location and so many updates and special features, this home is ready for you to move right in and start making memories today! ALL NEW PAINT AND CARPET THRU-OUT! MOTIVATED SELLER EASY TO SHOW.
