On the market: Home in Grayslake’s Prairie Crossing subdivision
This lovely, one-story home with a fabulous finished basement in Grayslake’s Prairie Crossing subdivision would be the perfect country retreat for either a family or a retired couple.
The option of one-level living with baths outfitted with grab bars and other handicapped-accessible amenities would make it perfect for the couple who wants to age in place. But the generous space — including four bedrooms, two kitchens, dual laundry rooms and breakfast room — make it spacious enough for a family.
On the main floor there’s a living room, dining room, family room and den. Add to that the large attached garage and brick patio and you have a wonderful family home.
Quarterly assessments allow access to all Prairie Crossing community amenities like tennis courts, the clubhouse, a park with playground, the swimming lake and horseback riding trails. They also cover exterior maintenance.
