| 3 BED / 2 BATH RANCH | NOT IN FLOOD PLAIN PER FEMA | CORNER LOT | FENCED YARD | BLOCKS TO BOAT LAUNCH | Close to the water & not in a flood plain (per FEMA!), this 3-bed/2-bath ranch sits a few blocks from Pistakee Lake, where a neighborhood boat launch opens up the entire Fox Chain O'Lakes. Downtown Fox Lake, the Metra, & Route 12 are nearby, so weekday commutes & weekend cruises start from the same corner lot. Out front, a wide covered porch faces east & catches the morning sun. Inside, vaulted ceilings & skylights pour daylight across wood laminate floors in the main living space. The 20-plus-foot living room opens to the dining area & kitchen, so conversation carries easily from stove to sofa. Sage-green cabinets & a glass mosaic backsplash frame a double sink beneath the kitchen window, with a gas range across the aisle. Sliding doors off the dining area lead to the backyard. The primary bedroom has its own full bath, & two more bedrooms share a second full bath down the hall. A laundry room between the kitchen & attached garage gives groceries & muddy boots a natural landing spot. The fully fenced backyard (new in 2023) has room for a garden & cookouts. The oversized 2-car garage runs nearly 29 feet deep & includes a workshop bump-out, while the T-shaped driveway leaves room to park a boat alongside guests' cars. With a new A/C & water heater (2025) & a roof replaced in 2019, the next owner can spend more time on the water.
