On the Market: Lake Zurich home
Move to this lovely brick and siding home in Lake Zurich’s Wicklow Village subdivision and you will be living in a community that Frommer’s named as one of the top 100 “Best Places to Raise Your Family” in 2006.
Lake Zurich, once a tourist village, now offers residents the comforts of a small, close-knit community, as well as amenities that come with being close to a big city.
The home features a wealth of hardwood floors throughout, a two-story family room with brick fireplace, spectacular finished basement; large island kitchen with granite countertops, breakfast bar and eating area; first-floor den, living room and dining room; as well as an attached two-car garage and brick patio.
Listing agent Reid Anderson of Blue Fence Real Estate offers further details about the home:
What is the hidden gem in this house?
“The finished basement is the gem. It has great space for entertaining with a bar, second family room area with room for recreational activities (Ping-Pong, foosball, billiards), exercise area, half bathroom and a lot of storage.”
What would your perfect buyer look like?
“Someone who is looking for a lot of space — near town, schools and parks — would enjoy this home.”
What surprises you about this house?
“The amount of space it offers. It has more than 5,000 square feet of living space with an open floor plan and a lot of storage. The kitchen is large with new granite countertops and it opens onto the eating area which, in turn, opens onto the two-story family room.”
If this house were featured in a TV show or movie, which one would it be?
“This home could easily be one of the houses on ‘Modern Family.’ It has enough space and a great layout for a busy family that likes to entertain friends and family at dinners and parties.”
What’s the coolest thing about living in this neighborhood?
“It has two parks in the neighborhood complete with a playground, soccer fields and baseball field and it is close to everything in town. There are also numerous sidewalks where you can enjoy a stroll with a dog, a power walk or a run.”
