About this home
Sweeping views of the 10th Fairway consume the space in this rare golf-course retreat, offering luxury, privacy and tranquility you wouldn't expect on Lake Avenue! Walls of windows flood the open floor plan with natural light, seamlessly connecting the indoors to the expansive golf course views. The fully renovated kitchen (July 2026) is a showstopper, featuring quartz countertops, a wine fridge, stainless steel appliances, and a large island designed for gathering. Custom details like leaded glass French doors and cove ceiling lighting are abundant throughout. This home offers 5 bedrooms: two flexible main-floor bedrooms (perfect for offices or multigenerational living) and three upstairs, including a primary suite with beautiful custom private bath and stunning, unobstructed fairway views. The finished basement has a huge recreation room, a second laundry, and loads of built-in storage organization. Outside, the large brick paver patio, fire pit, and fenced yard provide an effortless setting for entertaining or just relaxing. There's plenty of parking with a driveway turnaround and attached 2-car garage. Unbeatable convenience and walkability- one block from the Forest Preserve's walking and biking trails and walk to Avoca West Elementary. It's quiet, private, and set far back from the street where it becomes your oasis. This is a hidden treasure that you can't miss!...
