The laundry room includes a utility sink and direct access to the 3-car garage. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a large walk-in closet and private bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Three additional generously sized bedrooms offer excellent closet space. The finished basement provides a large recreation room, half bath, and ample storage; the half bath can be converted to a full bath, with the drain located inside the wall. Additional updates include dual HVAC systems, NEW roof and gutters (2020), newer water heater approximately 3 years old, and newer main-level carpeting. Gazebos, outdoor furniture, deck boxes, and bedroom TVs will stay with the home. Conveniently located near parks, playgrounds, more than 30 miles of the Millennium Trail, Lakewood Forest Preserve, a dog park, Bangs Lake, and downtown Wauconda with restaurants, shopping, festivals, and lakefront activities.
