At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Waters Edge, discover a townhome where serenity and style collide. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the dramatic two-story great room frame ever-changing lake views-calm water one day, whitecaps the next, or deer and fawns tiptoeing past your garden-level windows. The kitchen is a showpiece with 42" cherry cabinets, granite counters, and brand-new stainless steel appliances (Aug 2025). Cherry floors run throughout the main level, while upstairs a flexible loft makes the perfect home office, play space, or cozy reading nook. The master suite is pure indulgence: jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and a walk-in closet worthy of a boutique. The finished English basement is its own private retreat with a full kitchen, modern bath, south-facing windows, built-in speakers, and dedicated heating/AC. Perfect as in-law/guest quarters, a teen hangout, or even a caretaker's suite. Thoughtful upgrades include Anderson windows, an elegant carved-stone fireplace (with thermostat + fan for backup heat), a whole-house humidifier, and top-notch insulation that keeps bills low. With 8 closets, a 2-car garage with built-ins, and a walk-in pantry/laundry combo, storage is never an issue. Step outside and let the HOA handle the chores-landscaping, snow removal, exterior upkeep, even a new roof (2022) and planned driveway (2026). You'll have more time to explore the endless amenities: 10 local parks, playgrounds, beaches, sledding hills, trails, golf courses, riding centers, and nearby preserves like Fox River Forest Preserve and Volo Bog. Wauconda's Phil's Beach on Bangs Lake is a local favorite for live music and fireworks, while dining, shopping, and groceries (Trader Joe's, Woodman's, Jewel, and more) are just minutes away. Small-town Island Lake delivers peace and quiet, while Wauconda, Lake Zurich, McHenry, and Crystal Lake offer every convenience. The library, hospital, and even a new grocery store opening soon are right nearby. Whether fully furnished, partially furnished, or tailored to your taste, this home is ready to flex with your lifestyle. Life here is simple: beautiful lake views, endless recreation, no maintenance headaches. The only thing missing? You!
