Property Description
Steeped in history and located in the desirable Douglas Nursery Subdivision of Waukegan, this community carries the legacy of an English immigrant and nationally renowned horticulturalist whose vision helped shape Lake County's landscape. Built between 1932 and 1976, the subdivision has long been celebrated for its charm, variety of single-family homes, and a welcoming community atmosphere that families have cherished for decades. Ideally situated west of Lewis Avenue and south of Grand, its convenient location adds to the appeal of this sought-after area. Inside, the home offers a warm and inviting setting with knotty pine accents, custom built-ins, and hardwood floors flowing throughout. The spacious bedrooms provide comfort and versatility. Prepare family dinners in the functional kitchen and serve and enjoy them in separate dining area. A cozy fireplace anchors the living space. Move to the finished basement for additional space to entertain or simply relax! Enjoy your morning coffee on the enclosed back porch, serene and private, then move outside where you can tend your veggie garden bed! Plenty of room for garden tools and other outside items in the shed (on concrete). Wrap up each day peacefully on that same enclosed porch, enjoy your favorite beverage and watch the sunset! Recent updates balance comfort and efficiency, including a new front door and screen, a new back door, and thermal pane windows. These updates combined with recently added solar panels result in impressively low utility bills. A roof replaced in 2017 adds additional peace of mind. Owner has occupied this home for 30+ years - she will miss the neighbors and neighborhood greatly - but life tends to get in the way of living and so the move! This is more than a home - it's part of a storied subdivision with deep roots in the community, offering historic charm, modern updates, and a location that has stood the test of time as one of Waukegan's most desirable places to live. See it today - make it your happy place!
