Your boat out back. The beach just steps away. Bangs Lake views from home. This charming, updated cottage offers the best of lake living in one easy-to-enjoy package. Set along the bay, just one home from the main body of Bangs Lake, the property has its own seawall and pier. Walk out the back door, hop on your boat and head out for a day on the lake. When you'd rather swim or relax on the sand, the voluntary private Lake View Villa association beach is just steps away. Enjoy dinner on your covered deck that is accented with beautiful landscaping to take in the views. Inside, the home has been modernized with an open floor plan. A spacious family room flows into the dining nook, while two bedrooms and two full baths offer flexibility for everyday living, weekend guests or a lake getaway. Newer roof, HVAC, flooring and fresh paint mean much of the work has already been done. An oversized one-car garage plus a large shed provide plenty of room for lake gear, paddleboards, bikes, tools-or the golf cart. With your boat at your own pier, the association beach nearby and Wauconda's lake lifestyle right outside your door, this cottage is the best of all worlds.
