01About this home

WOWZA - PRICE REDUCED AND READY!! This is a truly special one-owner raised ranch built in 1979 and beautifully maintained, set on two PINs totaling 1.11 acres (48,352 sq. ft.) along scenic Kellogg's Ravine in Benton Township with sought-after Winthrop Harbor Grade Schools, and just minutes from Camp Logan Beach. Offering 2,192 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home combines space, privacy, and exceptional storage with a peaceful natural backdrop. The main floor features a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, a beautiful bay window installed in 2015, and an open dining area with sliding glass doors leading to the wraparound deck overlooking the ravine, creek, and wooded views. The custom blinds, curtains, and window treatments in the living and dining rooms (2021) all stay. The kitchen includes all appliances and flows nicely into the main living spaces. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are located on the main floor along with a full bath. Bedroom 2 is especially spacious and was originally designed as two separate bedrooms, with the door frame still inside the wall for easy conversion back to a 4-bedroom layout if desired. The lower level offers additional living space with a cozy family room featuring a second fireplace and custom oak built-in bookshelves, along with bedroom 3, a full bath, laundry, and excellent storage. Outside, this property truly stands out with an attached garage plus an impressive 20' x 30' outbuilding garage with an additional 12' x 30' lean-to, serviced heater, and alarm system. Also outside you'll find a dog run, woodshed, west side yard with stacked firewood, flagpole, and a large stone fire pit ring, making it ideal for hobbyists, extra vehicles, entertaining, or workshop space. The beautifully landscaped grounds are filled with flower gardens and hostas throughout - truly a gardener's dream. Major updates include house roof and woodshed shingles (2012), gutters (2019), outbuilding roof (2022), furnace (2006, serviced yearly and checked Oct 2025), central air (2018, serviced yearly), sliding glass door and bay window (2015), and the home and carpets were professionally cleaned in January 2026. Per seller, this home is located in a quiet neighborhood with wonderful friendly neighbors. Additional peace of mind includes alarms on both the house and outbuilding, and per seller, the sump pump in the attached garage has never had water and the home has never flooded, although flood insurance is currently required (seller currently pays approximately $1,147/year through American Family Insurance). A rare opportunity to own a lovingly cared-for property with acreage, privacy, flexible living space, and unmatched outbuilding storage. Come take a look!
