Description
Imagine escaping to your own personal haven in the Chicago Southland's best-kept secret: Lake Metonga! Tucked away in historic Grant Park, this stunning 3,200 sq ft, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath two-story home sits on nearly half an acre of prime lakefront property. Whether your heart desires boating, fishing, or swimming, it's all right outside your door. Step inside and discover the grand two-story foyer leading to an amazing great room boasting beamed, towering cathedral ceiling, skylights, and a magnificent floor-to-ceiling brick raised hearth fireplace. The main floor also offers a spacious, thoughtfully laid out kitchen with efficient work flow, seamlessly connecting major appliances for effortless meal prep, along with a breakfast bar and table space. A dedicated mud/laundry room with utility sink, ample cabinets & countertops and a coat closet provides an ideal place for storage and folding, as well as a convenient spot to kick off shoes and organize keys & mail, keeping clutter out of the sight of guests. The formal living room & dining room make this space perfect for entertaining. Finally, the study with French doors is well-suited as a work-from-home office or could be converted into a main floor bedroom if needed. An open staircase leads to a finished den area in the basement which would make a great gaming, theater or hobby room or could easily be tailored to your needs. Beyond that there is extensive unfinished square footage to customize to your liking. The second floor features an open gallery walkway with stunning views overlooking the foyer and great room. An expansive primary bedroom with en-suite bath, jacuzzi tub, private water closet and massive walk-in closet makes for a beautiful owner's retreat. Rounded out with three additional sizeable bedrooms you'll have plenty of space to grow into. Convenience is key with an intercom system, central vacuum, and a second staircase providing basement access directly from the garage. Outside, you'll find stamped concrete driveway and walkways, complemented by a tiered deck that leads directly to your private dock. Priced to reflect its incredible potential, this property is livable in its current state but does require work and is being sold as-is. Not suitable for traditional FHA or VA - inquire with your Realtor about possible re-hab financing as an alternative. No matter your interests, this location has you covered. Enjoy unparalleled convenience with groceries, banks, healthcare, worship, pet care, restaurants, and diverse shopping all within easy reach. Yet, it's quaint small-town charm truly sets the stage for a relaxed lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to golf, sports fields, fitness centers, parks, and abundant summer or winter activities. For higher education, both a community college and a university are nearby. You're also just 55 minutes from Chicago, 25 minutes from the Metra commuter train, and 20 minutes from the major retail hub of Bourbonnais. Plus, the highly acclaimed Grant Park School District has been consistently recognized by the U.S. News & World Report, Niche and The Kankakee Journal for excelling in academics, athletics, and community engagement. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of paradise on Lake Metonga!
