    Property Description

    Looking for your own private retreat that is walking distance from the Lake of Egypt? Sitting on nearly half an acre at the end of a quiet, wooded setting, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home provides a peaceful atmosphere while offering plenty of functional living space inside and out. Step inside to the main level, where you'll find a welcoming living room featuring beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, a spacious kitchen with an island, new tile flooring, countertops and backsplash, a dining area, laundry room, full bathroom, and two bedrooms. Upstairs offers even more space with a comfortable family room, primary bedroom with a private bathroom, and new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. When it's time to relax, step outside and enjoy the inviting front porch or head to the huge back porch overlooking the above-ground pool. A true highlight of the property is the impressive 24x40 pole barn with an additional 400-square-foot, completely renovated studio apartment. Currently being used as an Airbnb, this versatile space offers endless possibilities and could serve as a mother-in-law suite, guest quarters, man cave, or additional income-producing opportunity. The apartment has been thoughtfully updated with new flooring, paint, ceiling tiles, mini-split, plumbing, water heater, and lighting. PRIVATE BOAT RAMP ACCESS.
