Overview

Discover the perfect lakeside retreat that offers not just a home but a lifestyle, with easy access to all that downtown Fox Lake and Mineola Bay have to offer. Enjoy the convenience of being steps away from a movie theater, multiple restaurants, a bakery, and the train station. Immerse yourself in the rich history of the area, with the iconic Mineola Hotel just around the corner. Outdoor enthusiasts will delight in kayaking, canoeing, boating, and tubing right from your private pier. The main house is a charming 1.5-story bungalow with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, featuring a fully finished walkout basement. The entire main level underwent a stunning renovation in 2018, boasting NEW electrical, NEW insulation, NEW walls, NEW ceilings, NEW wide plank hardwood floors, and a beautifully designed kitchen that seamlessly blends modern amenities with the timeless charm of the 1930s. With a spacious lower-level family room and a full bathroom on every level, there's ample room for everyone. Additionally there is a NEW washer in the large house in 2020, a NEW dryer in 2024, a NEW asphalt driveway in 2021, a NEW 50-gallon hot water heater in 2022, and a NEW water softener. The smaller guest house is 2 bedrooms with 1 full bathroom and offers breathtaking water views that will make you feel as though you're floating on a houseboat. The open floor plan invites natural light and creates a welcoming atmosphere. The guest house was last updated in 1990 and features an unfinished basement with its own laundry facilities and abundant storage. A NEW HVAC system was installed in the past 3 years. The property also includes a deck and a hot tub (sold as-is). The hot tub is functional but requires a replacement panel and some bulbs. This is your chance to experience the ultimate lake life - whether for your family, as an investment, or as a serene retreat. Broker Owned.
