Description
Experience breathtaking lake views from this stunning 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom walkout ranch in the sought-after Mallingham subdivision. Situated on a huge 0.81-acre lot, this home offers the perfect combination of serene lakefront living and ample space for outdoor fun. The front yard alone is big enough for a game of flag football or a competitive game of "WooshBall"(not a typo, look it up). It also provides a nice resting area for the local deer population when you aren't playing. Oh, speaking of nature, the beach area and back deck allow you an absolutely serene spot to watch the swans and other birds right from your favorite chair. Step inside to find an inviting open-concept layout perfect for entertaining and your holiday gatherings. The updated kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, new counters and backsplash and a breakfast area that is open to the living room. The living room captures tons of natural light from the south facing windows, so your plants can stay happy all year long. Need something a little more formal? There is a separate dining area as well. So when you have to bust out the "fine china" and dress to impress, you have the perfect space to make it happen . From either of your eating areas you can access the screened porch where you can continue to wow your guests, or just enjoy your morning coffee in a nice private setting overlooking the lake. The walkout lower level is designed for entertaining as well. From the wet bar and a large family room you can access the private beach area. Literally right outside your back door. It even has a sidewalk in the backyard. Do you have a sidewalk in your backyard? You don't?.... you could if you lived here. The lower level also includes a 5th bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or a private retreat. Enjoy waking up in the primary bedroom and having the lake right outside your window. There are literally lake views from almost every room in the house. Cooking dinner in the kitchen? Lake view. Watching TV in the living room? Lake view. Relaxing in the family room in front of the fireplace? Lake view. Playing a game of foosball or cards downstairs? Lake view. Have a guest coming to stay in the 5th bedroom down stairs? You guessed it. They will have a lake view when they wake up as well. You basically have to play hide-n-seek here to not have a lakeview. Ohh, we haven't even mentioned the sunsets yet, but oh my! You're going to want to see them. We could go on forever about all the things that make this such a unique property, however you're probably getting tired of reading, so let's wrap it up. We made some videos for you to watch and made a 3D model for those of you in a rush, so go check them out on the property website or our social media pages. A three-car garage provides plenty of storage and there is also a large storage room for all your "treasures" just off the work out room in the lower level. Located in the Tri-Valley School District, this rare lakefront gem is a must-see! Schedule your private showing today!

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI could not be happier with Tri-Valley schools at all levels. Eventhough they are a small school, they consistently outperform the other schools in the county, even the much larger Unit 5 & District 87. Parental involvement is exceptional. While the school district originally serveda rural audience, in the past 20 years the growth of semi-rural upper-middle class to upper class developments has changed the characteristics of the student body and the tax base. While I agree with another commenter that there is virtually no diversity at Tri-Valley, I dont agree that the district is overly sports oriented. I have two children that participate in athletics and I cna tell you first hand that the academic requirements for athletes to participate are stricter than what the state requires. Eventhough they are a small school, students can earn college credit for high school course work through a program that TVHS offers i conjunciton with the local community college. All things considered, I cna not think of any other school distric in central Illinois that I would prefer my children to attend.Parent Review13y ago - Tri-Valley Elementary School
