Upon entering the home you will notice the living room is enveloped with an abundance of natural light from the floor to ceiling windows which showcase the gorgeous wooded ravine beyond. This room also offers a beautiful wood burning fireplace to keep you cozy in the winter months. The separate dining area with great views will be wonderful for all your family gatherings. The large eat-in kitchen will meet all your entertaining needs with generous counter space and an overlook into the dining room. The upstairs has two ample guest bedrooms with plenty of closet space, a full hall bath, and a primary bedroom that boasts a large walk-in closet, spacious bath and deck that overlooks the wooded area beyond. Set up a home office or a lounge in the spacious, light filled loft space at the top of the stairs. If that isn't enough space, the walkout basement is ready for your ideas to finish it into a living area, playroom, or bar entertaining space. The home has a brand new washer, dryer and APEX water filtration system. While the previous owner was not part of the homeowners association, new owners are welcome to join the Forest Lake Community Association for the annual fee of $200, allowing them access to community events and Forest Lake's private beach and parks. This is a fantastic home for someone looking for a low maintenance outside space, as there is no yard space to take care of beyond the sides and front area of the house. The Lake Zurich school district is consistently rated as top tier and the elementary, middle and high school for the area are highly rated. The house is situated in a great location with grocery stores, entertainment and shopping close by. It is located approximately 45 miles outside the city of Chicago, a 50 minute train ride from the village of Barrington (see also the Palatine train station). This home is being sold "AS IS." It is a diamond in the rough waiting for the next owner to really make it shine!
