Overview

Description

Dreaming of an easy escape just an hour from Chicago? Hop off the Amtrak and you're minutes from home & the lake! This impeccably maintained & tastefully updated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath end-unit townhome is located just a short stroll from downtown. You'll love being moments from the marina, boutique shopping, and some of the area's best dining. Inside, the bright and open layout is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, while the spacious deck invites you to unwind outdoors. A private first-floor bedroom with its own en-suite creates a perfect guest retreat or home office. Upstairs, the primary suite and additional bedroom with full bath provide comfort, style, and privacy. Equipped with a 2-car garage and shed, storage is not an issue! The Marina nearby offers a private pool experience when you purchase a boat slip!

Supplements: This well-run association has achieved strong financials with low assessments, providing peace of mind to unit owners. With only four townhomes in the community, this is a rare chance to secure an exclusive, hassle-free retreat in one of Harbor Country's most sought-after locations.
