Discover Your Dream Home in the Heart of Lake Villa! Potential for a Home Business!!! Nestled in a picturesque location, this captivating home is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, boasting a rich history dating back to 1904. Impeccably designed by two talented carpenters, this residence exudes timeless elegance and charm. As you approach, the meticulous landscaping and sophisticated curb appeal extend a warm invitation to your new abode. The European hand-laid flooring, sturdy walls, and foundation evoke a sense of permanence, like the architectural brilliance of Frank Lloyd Wright. Step inside, and you'll be instantly captivated by the remodeled kitchen, a true showstopper. It features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, modern 42" cabinets, and a spacious island, creating a perfect focal point for both quick meals and memorable gatherings. Notably, the renovations were thoughtfully executed to preserve the home's original hand-crafted charm, including a built-in with drawers designed for spices and condiments. Hardwood floors gracefully flow throughout the main level, seamlessly connecting to the office and generously sized bedrooms. The convenience of a first-floor laundry room adds to the home's practicality. The full basement eagerly awaits your creative touch - envision a wine tasting room nestled in its own unique location or additional bedrooms, all while taking advantage of an existing full bathroom just needing a little TLC. The second floor offers versatility, whether you choose to convert it into an extra bedroom or maintain it as a vibrant playroom paradise for kids. Spend the days enjoying the enclosed front porch/sunroom, with its two ceiling fans providing the perfect atmosphere for sipping coffee, watching parades, or simply reveling in the soothing sounds of nature. In the evenings, cozy up by the fireplace, unwind with a movie, or engage in a spirited game of cards in your luxurious living room. An array of spaces invites you to explore and make your own, including a private patio/courtyard overlooking the serene backyard. The owner has invested approximately $60,000 in updates and upgrades, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind. Recent improvements include fresh paint. New water heater. New plumbing in the main floor bathrooms. New asphalt driveway and concrete floor in garage. Newly refinished hardwood floors throughout. New windows in Laundry Room. All complimenting the gorgeous original wood doors and hardware. One-of-a-Kind Built-ins in the Dining Room and Kitchen. Coffered Ceilings and Crown Molding. Brick Fireplace. This is where memories are made, relationships are strengthened & milestones are celebrated! Just steps to all things Lake Villa including the shimmering Cedar Lake & Lehmann Park, restaurants, shops, and the Metra. This is truly Luxury for Less.
