About this home
Some homes you have to experience to appreciate-and this is absolutely one of them! Set on a waterfront channel with access to the Fox River, this wonderfully unique home pairs river views and waterfront living with a layout full of personality. Enjoy the river lifestyle without the direct riverfront price tag! An open floor plan connects the main living areas while preserving distinct spaces to gather, relax, and unwind. Gorgeous maple floors welcome you in the entryway and kitchen, while the great room makes a memorable impression with its tin ceiling and copper globe light fixtures. A spiral staircase leads to a tucked-away office, adding another unexpected detail to a home that is anything but ordinary. The spacious primary suite features two huge closet spaces, an additional laundry location, and a large ensuite bathroom recently refreshed with new vanities. Two separate basements, each with exterior access, offer incredible flexibility: one is designed for movie nights and entertaining, while the other includes a guest bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry room. Outside, the approximately half-acre yard offers room to entertain, garden, and enjoy life along the water. A large composite deck, beautiful chicken pen, and raised garden beds make this outdoor space just as special as the home itself. The heated, attached one-car garage is currently used as a gym, while an oversized detached garage with room for two-plus cars provides plenty of space for vehicles, toys, and hobbies. Distinctive details, versatile living spaces, and access to the Fox River-this is a home for someone who wants a little adventure and a whole lot of character!

R-1
Residential District
The R-1 Districts are intended to accommodate low-density, large-lot residential development and to ensure the protection of areas that develop in such a manner. These districts are a higher density version of the very-low density RE District. Like the RE District, the E and R-1 Districts are expected to accommodate only a very small amount of the county’s overall housing needs. These districts primarily serve those households who desire to live in low-density estate areas and are willing to assume the costs of doing so. Because of the relatively sparse population in E-zoned and R-1-zoned areas, the county will not give high priority to the provision of public services in the areas. Instead, public service provision by the county will be concentrated in areas where more intense future development is called for by the Regional Framework Plan. The low densities permitted in the E and R-1 Districts generally permit in accordance with applicable Lake County Health Department rules; see Chapter 171 on-site, individual sewage disposal systems and wells, thereby reducing the need for inefficient public expenditures. The R-1 Districts are intended to implement and correspond to the Regional Framework Plan’s Residential-Medium Lot future land use designation.
