Live a life you don't need a vacation from! Located in beautiful Shadow Lakes, a gated community with 5 private lakes and miles of interconnecting channels. This stick built home has it all, nestled right across from a stocked channel. Your living room is open with cathedral ceilings, 2 skylights and multiple sliding doors bringing in much natural light. 2nd floor outside balcony is finished off with a removable screened in area for those outdoor moments. The living room is combined with dining area and oversized breakfast bar, leading to deliciously spacious kitchen! Cabinets have been well taken care of and are solid. With plenty of counter space and all appliances, including dishwasher, nothing to do but move in and enjoy. Overlooking the living room, the loft area upstairs, is large enough to enclose for an additional bedroom! We have 2 master bedrooms, one upstairs and one down. Each has a large full bath next door. So many possibilities. Your full basement has 2 separate storage areas, with a utility sink, and separate workshop area...with outside access. The attached garage is a rare find in SL. Outside, your yard is already partially fenced off for your pets, large shed, and covered back porch. Just check out the pictures. Upgrades to mention: Gas hook up for fireplace in Living room, Furnace and AC 2024, Water heater 2023. All remaining furniture is staying. This is a private gated community. We have miles of fresh water channels, lakes, and marshes all interconnecting. This is the place to fish, swim, or boat, where it can reach 42 feet deep in some areas. (BIG FISH POSSIBILITIES!) Wildlife is abundant as well. This association includes a club house, community pool, a separate sand beach, pavilion, dog park, volleyball and basketball area (other games as well). They offer plenty of family and group activities. Other important notes: Close to I55 & only 60 Mins. from Chicago. Only Electric Boats & Golf Carts allowed. Association Dues are on a tiered basis and depend on the time you spend at the property- . Dues include water, sewer and garbage. Buyer / Buyer's agent to call Shadow Lakes to verify all rules / info. Lot size and square footage is estimated.
