Description
The lake is the part nobody has to fix. Open water on Fox Lake. A pier out into it. Oaks that were here decades before the house. The lot sits high, which is why this address is outside the 100-year floodplain when plenty of its neighbors are not. You cannot renovate that into a property later. This is Mineola Bay. Protected water at your own pier and a straight run out into Fox Lake and the rest of the Chain. The house faces west. Anyone who has spent a summer on the Chain knows what that is worth. The main room runs the width of the lake wall with windows across all of it, so the sun goes down in front of you from the couch. Or from the deck, which sits right out past the glass. Or from the end of the pier, which is where you will end up most nights anyway. Below the deck the ground drops once and then runs flat and open all the way to the seawall. Two bedrooms, one bath, and a 1938 cottage somebody took care of. What you do with it from here is the fun part. Come stand at the end of that pier at sunset. Everything else is a decision you get to make later.
