About this home
This stately seated "American Four-Square" Architectural Home sits high on the rising land, as one of the first homes (1924) to be constructed to the stretch of road that has been the main arterial route for a century. Illinois Route 59 is the northern branch off of Route 12 in Fox Lake, and is named Fox Lake Road at this site. Route 132 (Grand Avenue) is a 1/2 block north to take a 10 mile drive I-94, with Molidor, Rollins and Fairfield Roads to the south, and Grand Avenue winding back into Fox Lake train station to the west. The current family has owned this home since 1998. The house has no issues and is ready for a family, intergenerational homeowners, or perhaps even a VRBO or Airbnb investor. The home offers amazing views even as it sits on a little more than 2 acres, south of Fox Lake Hills' water tower and municipal pump house. The land and forest soften its quiet neighbor. The rear of the property abuts to Lake County's prized Grant Woods Forest Preserve, boasting wildlife, a pond with migratory birds, 4.5 miles of snowmobile trails that tie into miles of state trails, and 6 miles of paved or gravel trails, with 1 mile of grass trails just outside the back yard for daily walks or bike rides in this quality nature preserve. The property itself has its own forest preserve with significant oaks, hickory, apple and cherry blossoms that soften the main road. This 4 to 5-bedroom, 2 bath home sits far enough off of the main road for adding to the forest and privacy. This house and property constitutes privacy. Proper landscaping can cultivate the peace that is already upon the property. The Property has city water and sewer, gas and electric operating the household. It appears to have been a working farm, as there is an old out building storage shed for reclaim lumber. The foundation and basement of the house is solid, dry concrete with a modified cistern for a safe room, if necessary. The basement has cellar doors to access the basement from the outside. The main floor of this four square house is made up of a huge living room, dining room, entryway, kitchen and formal study/ library with first year growth, wood plank floors. The study has its own oval beveled glass entry door next to the main entry door, as if it had been the home of a doctor or for separate business use, without disturbing the private area of the home. The first-floor bathroom is so large and divided that an additional bath would be easily added for access from the kitchen, while sustaining a full bath to the separate study/ guest room. (See conceptual floorplan design.) This lends well to possible Airbnb, or extended family visits. The second floor is made up of 4 large bedroom sizes, a full bathroom, and loft study area in the hallway just off of the Master Bedroom. Again, the second floor bath could be divided for two separate baths, or laundry considering available space. The large second floor hall closet has a built-in ladder to access what could possibly become attic living space. The space is large enough (20'x20') for the possibility, and offers a window for daylight from the dormer. This is a common occurrence in four square homes. Like the foundation/ basement, the roof keeps a dry house, but is only 10 years old. The aluminum siding has preserved the house against weather and is maintenance free. The kitchen and cabinetry has been updated. There is a detached single car garage at the back of the house facing the back yard. The front porch is 38'x 7' for summer nights. There is a large fenced in garden area. This can be an extraordinary home, as the structure and position upon property area already in place. Great opportunities can be found on this property.
