Waterfront A-Frame on private channel leading to Bangs Lake. For the boater, there's nothing better than walking out your back door and hopping right onto your boat! Not having to pay flood insurance may rank a very close second place!! You get the best of both worlds here! When you're not enjoying the boating life, you'll probably be hanging out in your yard on the custom limestone patio near your private dock. This quiet setting, around the firepit and away from all the noise, allows for great conversations with cherished company. Relax as you watch your favorite waterfowl swim past or wave hello to the occasional passing kayaker. When the weather makes it impossible to enjoy the great outdoors, the finished walkout basement offers a very nice alternative to get away from the everyday. An existing dry bar makes this room the ideal recreation or gaming area. The laundry room features a slop sink and folding area. On the main level, the combination living and dining room offers a wonderfully private two-story view of the channel and wooded island. A cozy fire in the wood-burning stove adds ambiance and warmth on those cooler nights. The large wood balcony is perfect for outdoor dining and nature-watching with its elevated view of the channel! The upper level features a bedroom with a walk-in closet and a small loft that's the ideally suited for a desk or small reading couch. Store your toys or tools in the unique 2+ car garage. While here, don't miss the great room up the spiral staircase; what will you do with this great space? The house has been well maintained over the years; permits show a new roof in 2012, new windows in 2017, and new sliding glass doors in 2017. The furnace was replaced in 2015 and the air conditioner in 2016. There's also a whole house generator! This great house is mere minutes to historic downtown Wauconda, Wauconda Park District & Cook Park, award-winning Wauconda Library, Woodman's Grocery, Home Depot/Menards, the Chain O'Lakes, good schools, and the Millennium Trail! So much to love here!
