Just minutes from Libertyville's vibrant downtown as well as easy Rte. 94 access to either Chicago or Milwaukee, this rare Riverfront property offers a peaceful retreat with direct backyard access to the water. The Des Plaines River Trail and Forest Preserve are right across the river, offering private views and just a few steps over the bridge to access over 30 miles of trails. Spend your mornings paddling a kayak or canoe, or simply enjoy the ever-changing views of the forest preserve from your balcony or patio. Step inside to a warm and inviting space featuring vaulted ceilings with rustic wood beams, a wood-burning fireplace, and radiant heated floors in the great room. Two main-floor bedrooms provide flexible living options, while the upper-level loft-style primary bedroom is truly something special, a treehouse-like retreat with soaring views, natural light, balcony, and room for a cozy sitting area or desk. A spacious bonus room-attached to the two-car garage-is ready to become your home gym, studio, or work-from-home space. And for those who love the outdoors, the Des Plaines River Trail is just steps away, offering endless miles of scenic hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Steps from Riverside Park, you'll also enjoy easy access to tennis courts, open fields, playgrounds, and walking paths-all in a tucked-away setting with award-winning Libertyville schools.
