Enjoy more elbow room with country-like living less than a mile from the intersection of IL Rt 64 and IL Rt 59 in West Chicago. Located on 0.86 of an acre just south of St Andrews Golf Course, Lakewood Drive connects to the Illinois Prairie Path-Elgin Branch & the nearby Great Western Trail. Also nearby is the West Branch Forest Preserve and Old Wayne Golf Course making this home convenient access to both work and play. Hardwood floors greet you at the door and carry the charm throughout the main floor. A separate dining room with large windows is conveniently adjacent to the beautiful kitchen with maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. The large family room offers distinct usable spaces but in an open concept style uncharacteristic of homes of this age. Please note that the full bath backing to the kitchen has a tub and plumbing behind the wall for tub/shower area. The first floor living space expands with a large Den and a second full bath. This space could easily be used as a first floor bedroom suite by closing it off with full bath access. Sliding doors from the den lead to the back yard where a raised platform provides a seating area, shade, and views of the enormous back yard with lots of open space. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms efficiently laid out, each with large closets to maximize the space. The unfinished basement provides storage and laundry spaces. There is a basement cellar door which leads to a shed and has access to and from the back yard. A Generac natural gas generator provides electrical back-up. There is a deck in the rear yard that has a screen porch kit able to be put on top (this is left in the garage) to enjoy the yard in the warm month. This is an opportunity to buy some extra margin space while still experiencing the convenience of shopping and recreation nearby. Come see the potential to make this house your home. The home is offered as-is and does need some work, but it is a great opportunity to invest and make this home your own on a fantastic lot!
