SHORT SALE. Home is back on the market and ready for a new buyer. Tucked away at the very end of a quiet street in Winthrop Harbor, this unique L-shaped home offers the perfect blend of privacy, space, and convenience. Sitting on a generous half-acre lot surrounded by mature trees, the property feels like a peaceful retreat while still being minutes from shops, parks, and the shores of Lake Michigan. One wing of the home features a classic bi-level layout with 3 bedrooms, a full basement, and spacious living areas. The second wing offers its own private entrance and living quarters - perfect for extended family, guests, or a home office setup. Together, the two sections create a versatile "two-homes-in-one" design that's hard to find. While the home is move-in ready, a touch of cosmetic updating - fresh carpet, paint, or a kitchen refresh - could truly make it shine and reflect your personal style. Outside, you'll find a backyard sanctuary with room to entertain, garden, or simply unwind under the trees. The location is unbeatable - just steps from the Village Park, Parks & Recreation Department, and a short drive to the Illinois Beach State Park. Whether you're seeking a private escape, multi-generational living, or a smart investment, this property is brimming with potential and charm.
