Inspired by a Better Homes and Garden plan, this custom-built ranch offers more than 2,200 square feet on the main floor and exceptional construction, including 2x6 walls and 2x12 floor and ceiling joists. The home features three large bedrooms and three and a half baths. The primary suite includes a private bath with a low-curb shower. A full dining room and a spacious eat-in kitchen, updated in 2015 with new appliances, resurfaced cabinets, and countertops, provide plenty of room for gatherings. The full walkout basement nearly doubles the living space with an additional 2,200 square feet. It includes a finished full bath, sliding glass doors, a workshop, and a kitchenette-perfect for entertaining or extended living arrangements. Set on 10 acres, with approximately 7 currently farmed, the property is well-suited for raising animals, gardening, or running a hobby farm. Three outbuildings, including one previously used for pigs, plus a garden shed near the garage, offer ample space for livestock, equipment, or storage. Wildlife sightings are frequent, with deer and birds often visiting the open land and surrounding trees. Located near Gurnee Mills, Great America, Lake County Forest Preserves, and major highways, the home offers a peaceful rural setting with easy access to Chicago and Milwaukee. The possibilities are endless!
