About this House

Beautiful, split-level home with the feel of an artist's loft. Gorgeous kitchen with vaulted ceiling opens to dining and living room with skylights and patio doors that open to multi-level deck - perfect for entertaining! Main bedroom opens to deck and large main bath with skylight and dual hammered copper, scrolled sinks. Total of three bedrooms on main floor. Large, fenced yard is an oasis of nature with a fire pit and additional seating area sheltered by a spectacular ancient oak tree. The English basement is perfect for an additional living room or work-from-home office with a second full bathroom on the same level. Two-car, attached garage with additional parking in front: perfect for storing a boat, PWC or RV. Store the drinks for the cooler in the extra refrigerator in the garage.
Perfect location near the heart of downtown Fox Lake: steps to the Farmer's Market, a six minute walk to Metra and nine minute walk to the newly-renovated Lakefront Park which includes a playground, amphitheater, gymnasium, dance studio, walking paths, fishing areas, pickleball, and in 2025 will include a splash pad and swimming area. This is the perfect location to enjoy lake life by fishing, boating, kayaking, and exploring the Chain O'Lakes.

Please note that the house is currently occupied and should not be visited without an appointment in advance. I will be reaching out to prospective tenants to schedule appointments once I review all applications. Site visits will be offered after pre-screening applications. As such I will not be responding to "tour request" emails. Thanks

    "I've lived in fox lake for about 4 years now and on several occasions i have seen people urinating from my window. The entire area is full of transients who have zero respect for people or their property. If you forget to wrap your hose up, guess what? It'll be gone by morning!"
