Property Description

Welcome to lake life! Located in a true lake community on Mineola Bay, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers neighborhood boat-launch access to the Chain O' Lakes within walking distance from your front door. Spend your summers boating, fishing, tubing, visiting waterfront restaurants and cruising the Chain-then come home to a beautifully updated space designed for comfortable everyday living. Situated on a beautiful corner lot, this home offers an extra-large driveway with plenty of parking for multiple vehicles and guests, along with an attached garage providing additional room for lake toys, fishing gear, coolers, paddleboards, bikes and more. Step inside to a bright and welcoming interior featuring stylish laminate flooring and soothing neutral colors throughout. Three spacious bedrooms offer generous closet space, while the sun-filled separate dining area provides a wonderful place for morning coffee, family dinners or entertaining friends. The updated kitchen features refreshed white cabinetry, modern appliances and plenty of room to cook, gather and refuel after a long day on the water. Comfortable living spaces continue throughout the home-but there's even more downstairs. The extra-large finished basement adds an incredible amount of flexible living space and can easily adapt to whatever your lifestyle needs. Create the ultimate family room, game room, movie space, home gym, playroom, hobby area or entertaining space-with enough room to combine several uses and still spread out. And this home hasn't just been refreshed cosmetically-the big-ticket improvements have already been handled. A newer furnace and A/C (April 2024) provide year-round comfort, while newer siding, roof and gutters (June 2024) add curb appeal and long-term value. But living here is about more than the house. It's about being part of the Chain O' Lakes lifestyle. The neighborhood's nearby boat launch provides convenient access to Mineola Bay and the interconnected waterways of Fox Lake, Nippersink Lake and beyond-putting miles of boating adventure within easy reach. Summer means spontaneous boat rides, tubing, fishing, sandbars, waterfront dining and fireworks reflecting across the water. And when summer fades, lake life doesn't lose its magic. Fall transforms the shoreline into a spectacular backdrop of changing leaves and rich autumn color reflected across the water, making even an ordinary walk through the neighborhood something special. Best of all, you can enjoy that laid-back lake-community atmosphere without sacrificing convenience. The home is located less than one mile from Metra and close to downtown Fox Lake's eclectic shopping, dining, entertainment and 13-screen movie theater, with easy access to major roadways. Here, lake life extends beyond the shoreline. You're part of a community where boating, water access and everything that makes the Chain O' Lakes special are woven into everyday life. Don't spend another season wishing you lived closer to the water. Schedule your showing and come discover your place in lake life.
