On the Market: Wauconda two-story home

The lake community of Wauconda has been known as an idyllic retreat for more than 100 years. Now, thanks to modern transportation, those who work in Chicago each day are able to return home there every night.

Wauconda-ites lucky enough to work in surrounding suburbs have an even easier commute to their peaceful country home.

This 7-year-old house, located across from a nature preserve, is near the Millennium Trail and close to Lake Napa Suwe. With its brick and vinyl sided exterior, stacked bay windows, two-story foyer and family room, hardwood floors and master suite, a new buyer would immediately enjoy their new community. Its gorgeous crown molding, brick fireplace and island kitchen only add to the overall package.
