Amazing waterfront opportunity to buy this charming storybook cottage with beautiful long views right on Nippersink Lake! Enjoy the wooded privacy that exists or clear the back trees to enjoy the lake views from the windows of most rooms in this cozy home nestled high on a hill. The lakefront is almost like a small beach. You can walk right out into the lake. Build your own pier, remodel this cottage and create a peaceful and serene getaway within a stone's throw of the NW suburbs. Enjoy all the benefits of Lake Nippersink including the gorgeous views, waterskiing, boating, swimming, fishing, etc. Estate sale, as-is. It has some wonderful features like the large living and family rooms, the finished walkout lower level, the attached greenhouse, the first floor bedroom and full bath, 2 large loft bedrooms and the full bath in the lower level. There are also 2 sheds which would be great for boat supplies or a potting shed. The sellers believe the roof is less than 10 years old, but we are not sure.
