Welcome home to Waukegan's Near North Historic District! 709 N County Street is situated near all that the city has to offer and has both the modern conveniences and upgrades for today's lifestyle and the architectural details & craftsmanship that make it unique. Located just one mile from the beach, harbor, and downtown Waukegan. You don't often find details and features this well preserved in a home of this age, but here it is! Lovingly updated and maintained by current owners over the past 11 years, this character-rich home features old-wood hardwood floors throughout the first and second floors, gorgeous details including dentil and crown moulding, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Formal dining and living spaces seamlessly blend traditional aesthetics with modern life with the open floor plan. Rounding out the first floor are the powder room and laundry room with stacking washer and dryer. There are 3 generously sized bedrooms and 1 full bathroom on the second floor. Bathroom was remodeled in 2019. Additional features include a full, unfinished basement, and 2 car detached garage. Create more living space in the basement if you desire, as the current owners have done with a bar and family room setup, or simply use it for extra storage. Just a little over a block to Upton Park, and a few minutes to the Genesee Theater, Waukegan Park District and the library. Updates include brand-new vinyl siding in 2023, new brick paver patio in 2023, new Trex back porch/stairs 2023. Brand new central air & furnace in 2022, vinyl fencing 2023, exterior painting and upgraded exterior lighting in 2024. Customized landscaping has been done throughout the front and back yards, including mature perennial flowers. Kitchen was given a facelift with new cabinet fronts and solid black granite counter tops and new sink in 2021. New LG microwave 2024, new Samsung refrigerator in 2020, new Bosch dishwasher 2021. Washer/dryer set 2020.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
