The bright, window-lined sunroom is the perfect place to relax and take in peaceful waterfront views throughout the year. Designed with efficiency in mind, the home is equipped with an off-grid passive solar system, rainwater collection system, and an on-demand hot water heater.

Step outside to enjoy low-maintenance landscaping, composite decking, and a hardwood ADA ramp that can easily be removed if desired. The detached shed, built on a concrete foundation with access from both sides and a concrete apron, offers endless possibilities as a workshop, storage area, hobby space, or even your own tiki bar. For added peace of mind, many of the home's windows and doors have been replaced within the past four years. Located within the private, gated Shadow Lakes community, you'll enjoy miles of interconnected spring-fed lakes, channels, and marshes that are ideal for fishing, boating, swimming, and enjoying abundant wildlife. Some waters reach depths of up to 42 feet, making them perfect for anglers seeking trophy-sized fish. Residents enjoy an exceptional array of amenities, including a clubhouse, two swimming pools, a sandy beach, golf cart trails, nature paths, a winter ice-skating rink, pavilion, dog park, volleyball, basketball, pickleball courts, and a variety of recreational activities for all ages. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence or the perfect weekend getaway, this home offers an unbeatable lifestyle just 60 minutes from Chicago with convenient access to I-55. Shadow Lakes allows electric boats and golf carts, and association dues are tiered based on usage. HOA dues include water, sewer, and garbage service. Buyers and their agents are encouraged to contact Shadow Lakes or visit the community website for current rules, regulations, and association information.
