Welcome to your new getaway-or year-round minimalist retreat-where less is more and cozy is an understatement. Built in 1933, this 1,128 sq ft gem is definitely not haunted (we checked, twice!). With 2 bedrooms, it offers just what you need and nothing you don't. Say goodbye to clutter and hello to simplicity! High and dry, and perched on a beautiful hill with water views, this home is all about the essentials: low taxes, low heating and cooling costs, and low stress. Enjoy nearby shopping, dining, and entertainment options, all just a stone's throw from downtown Fox Lake and the METRA commuter rail. Plus, you're minutes away from Fox Lake's new Lakefront Park and the Chain O'Lakes-Illinois' largest recreational waterway. Whether you're looking for an affordable escape or a year-round haven, this charming house is your perfect match. Embrace the minimalist lifestyle in the heart of Fox Lake, where you're close to nature and closer to serenity. This might be the tiniest house you've ever loved-but hey, good things come in small packages! Owner is an Illinois Licensed Real Estate Broker.
