Located just three blocks from the Fox Lake Metra station and two blocks from historic downtown Fox Lake, this home offers unparalleled convenience for commuters and access to the area's vibrant local scene.

Inside, the home boasts a warm and inviting layout with a first-floor bedroom and full bath for effortless single-level living. Large windows flood the space with natural light while showcasing breathtaking views of Mineola Bay. Recent upgrades include a new furnace installed in the winter of 2022, a water heater, water softener, washer, and dryer replaced in 2018, and a dishwasher and range updated in 2019. The kitchen shines with countertops, a microwave, and a refrigerator, all replaced in June 2024. The second-floor flooring was refinished in June 2024, and the entire interior was repainted in May 2024, with the exterior receiving a fresh coat in October 2024. The home's exterior is equally inviting, featuring ample off-street parking with a two-car garage pad and foundation poured and ready to finish. The spacious yard and deck provide a peaceful oasis, perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets over the water. The double lot offers privacy, enhanced by the mature trees surrounding the property. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or the ultimate weekend getaway, 79 Lakewood Ave combines vintage character, thoughtful upgrades, and a prime location to offer the best of Fox Lake living.
