01About this home

This charming three bedroom ranch in unincorporated Lake Villa offers the perfect blend of modern updates and relaxed country living for $280,000. Situated on an expansive double lot, this home provides plenty of outdoor space for gardening or play-all with the benefit of lower taxes and no HOA. The recently updated eat-in kitchen features new appliances and a bright, inviting atmosphere. The single-level layout is efficient and cozy, flooded with natural light throughout. Major peace-of-mind upgrades include a newer HVAC system, water heater and sump pump. Outside, the property features a two-car attached garage and a spacious backyard perfect for gatherings. Residents enjoy a prime location with access to a private lake, nearby parks, and scenic forest preserves.
