Round Lake, IL

Welcome home! This updated 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhome, sits in a quiet, wooded community with walking trails right outside your door. Built in 2000 and offering 1,708 square feet, it's a great pick for a first-time buyer who wants a place that is ready to move into and ready for your personal touch. Inside, the open floor plan connects the living and dining areas, with peaceful, wooded views and natural light from the east in the morning and the west in the afternoon. The bright eat-in kitchen has modern stainless-steel appliances, an InSinkErator garbage disposal, and a Glacier Bay sink and faucet. It opens on a private 136 sq ft balcony, which is a good spot for your morning coffee. Gas grills are welcome on both the balcony and the 84 sq ft porch, so cookouts are easy. Spruce hardwood floors run through the main level and the upstairs hallway, and bamboo hardwood covers the foyer and two flights of stairs. The spacious primary suite has a private full bath and two closets. Faucets and showerheads have been updated throughout, and the clog-free Kohler toilets are a nice everyday perk. In-unit laundry keeps chores simple. The finished lower level is flexible. Make it a family room, rec room, or home office, or convert it to a fourth bedroom. It also connects directly to the attached 2-car garage. There is plenty of storage, too, in addition to the attic. The home is also smart-home ready, with Google Nest smoke detectors, thermostat, and front door, plus a MyQ garage door system. Monthly costs are easy to predict. The HOA fee is $346 and covers snow removal, landscaping, and maintenance of the common elements. That means less time on yard work and shoveling, and more time on trails and coffee on the balcony. Over the last 12 months, utilities averaged about $76 a month for gas and $69.50 a month for electricity. The location is convenient. The bus stop is one block away, and the Metra station is three blocks away. The College of Lake County is 5 minutes away, and Tony's, Meijer, Walmart Supercenter, and Woodman's are about 10 minutes away. Baxter and Abbott Laboratories are short drive.
