Circa 1933, absolutely unique & historic property! If you are looking for a home like no other, this is it! This is a truly unique retreat! 6 total brick wood-burning fireplaces, 3 wood-burning stoves. Sunroom with a traditional wood hot tub. Massive wood beams. Indoor grill. Soaring, vaulted, beamed Great Room. Two patios. One deck. She-shed has finished interior with vaulted ceiling, electricity, and brick indoor AND outdoor fireplaces! Massive garage has additional workroom/storage space & shed. Too much to list! There are so many possibilities to transform this home, and easy ways to add more bedrooms. It is a MUST SEE! Concerned about the busy road? The home sits up on a hill, and the thick brick stops much of the traffic noise; add a privacy fence and some mature Arborvitae to create your secluded retreat. The half-acre lot with adjacent water retention field behind gives a private country feeling while still being close to all the local amenities Gurnee has to offer. Items that appear to be updated: roof & flashing, some windows, HVAC, hot water heater, updated electric panel, well treatment equipment, some plumbing. Restoration/repair still needed. Priced to sell for this fantastic piece of history! This is NO cookie cutter property, and they don't build them like this anymore! Sold as-is. Approved for $100 down program and FHA 203K loans; Cash or rehab loan only, see HUD website for info. Per the village well & septic must be hooked to public water and/or sewer only if a system fails.
