** PRICE REDUCTION - MOTIVATED SELLER of an inherited family property ** Rarely available land size plus natural beauty. *** Bring your ideas and TLC to customize this home the way you want. Live on a secluded, semi-private lane in a stunning wooded oasis that combines a country atmosphere with close proximity to the city. This unique gem is located in the vibrant community of Des Plaines, known for its parks, schools, and recreational areas. For the first time in over 40 years, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath custom contemporary ranch-style home is on the market. The open floor plan features a large living room with a fireplace, perfect for entertaining. The eat-in kitchen offers a corner window with lovely views, while the spacious second-floor loft, complete with skylights, is ideal for an office or playroom. Enjoy the tranquility of a screened-in porch along with a generous foyer/sitting area. The property boasts a sizable 3-car garage and parking for 6-8 additional vehicles. Surrounded by nature, this home provides easy access to the 294 expressway, O'Hare, and Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, the Des Plaines River Trail and Big Bend Lake. Nestled on a secluded private lane with just two other homes, the wooded area offers opportunities for equestrian use or the development of additional single-family homes or townhomes. This is an excellent opportunity for the next owner, with potential for land partitioning and development. A quick 4-minute drive takes you to downtown Des Plaines and the Metra train station, allowing for a 35-45 minute commute to the city. Choose between Maine East or Maine West for high school. The property is also available for sale as land, providing summer privacy and a winter wonderland. Please see ADDITIONAL INFORMATION to answer floodplain questions. Rehabber and Contractor delight.
