Description

Rare opportunity to own this charming, southern exposure ranch on Grays Lake with 90 feet water frontage overlooking Jones Island Park and beach; ideally located just blocks from downtown, schools, Metra, and restaurants. Expanded to include an attached 2 car garage, a large family room with walk in closet plus a storage/workshop room with exterior access. Current owners are using first floor family room as their primary bedroom with a door to a large deck overlooking the lake. Walk out lower-level features 4th bedroom (currently used as office), full bath, 2nd family room, laundry, and screen porch. Lower level family room could easily be converted into a large Primary bedroom with full bath by adding a closet on the back wall, expanding the bath if needed to include wet bar area and putting in a wall with door access. Recent improvements include: new roof & gutters with gutter guards, interior freshly painted, kitchen appliances and quartz counter tops, air conditioner and more! Enjoy the scenic large wooded, fenced backyard with extensive brick walkways, a patio, plus a firepit. Grays Lake offers fishing, swimming, non-motorized watercrafts, and skating. Exceptional value for today's buyer who is looking for lakefront living at an affordable price!
