Looking for a cabin that's nestled in the woods and located close to a lake? Here is your chance to own a lovely 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home on a cul-de-sac in the Lake Thunderbird community. The main floor is great for gatherings with the cozy wood-paneled living room that flows into the dining room and kitchen with island and stainless steel appliances. There's even a main floor half-bath. Upstairs offers a spacious primary bedroom, a large secondary bedroom, a full bathroom, and laundry. Electric baseboard heat. The walkout basement is partially finished with another bedroom and is plumbed for an additional bathroom. The amazing wrap-around deck draws you outside to enjoy the birds and trees surrounding the home. This home is perfect for a weekend getaway all year round or full-time living. Only 2 hours from Chicago, this private lake community offers a beach, a clubhouse, a pool, lake access, tennis courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, and is close to golf courses.
