Opportunity to own this charming renovated ranch home set far back off the road on a beautiful manicured acre. Easy access to expressway, Independence Grove, downtown Libertyville, and train off Buckley Road but this lot offers seclusion and privacy that is lacking in most subdivisions. Homeowners completed a major rennovation in 2011 and this home has been loved and maintained with meticulous care. Owners renovation included addition of Pella windows and doors throughout, James Hardie siding, beautiful oak hardwood floors, recessed lighting and kitchen remodel with Maple Durasupreme soft close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and granite counters. Charming family room with bay window and sliders letting in lots of natural light and overlooking beautiful spacious backyard with brick patio. Cozy up to word burning fireplace at night. Flexible floor plan with space currently used as a office that can be den or dining room. Current super large dining room(21 x 11) can be second family room/living room. Third bedroom currently used as gym. Potential to add a second floor of living space in the raised attic (above garage and east wing of the house) with windows and plumbed for electrical and plumbing! Lot's of options here! A gardeners delight as beautiful backyard has multiple perennial beds. Convenient circular driveway allowing for convenience and loads of extra parking. Come see, you'll be amazed by the peace and tranquillity this one acre property provides when you walk through the door. Located across from entrance to Independence Grove, which is also known as the crown jewel of the Lake County Forest Preserves. Independence Grove has a beautiful beach, canoe and paddle boat rental, summer concert series, biking and running paths that wind around it's lakes and the newly opened beer gardens. Yes, Buckley is a busy road but this charming home is set far back (almost 200 feet) and you CANNOT hear the road once you are inside or in the lovely backyard. Must be seen to be appreciated.

The districts are primarily intended to accommodate moderate density residential development that can be served by the full range of infrastructure. The districts are generally intended to be applied in areas with existing infrastructure. The uses and densities allowed in the R-3 Districts 1.33 to 2.5 units per acre offer county residents a variety of housing choices in the moderate density range.
