38855 N Drexel BLVD Antioch, IL 60002

Waterfront home situated on nearly 6 acres with views of Fox Lake!! We are happy to present you with the opportunity to purchase this rare gem located in Antioch, Illinois on the highly coveted Chain O' Lakes. This exceptional property is an outdoor enthusiast's dream come true with a perfect mix of vibrant lake life and tranquil living in a beautiful setting. While the summers are alive with events, concerts, lakeside dining, and boating culture, the offseason is also a great time to visit the lakes to xc ski, snowmobile, ice fish, or simply enjoy a book in the sun-filled living room next to the wood-burning fireplace. The 3 bedroom 2 bath home is nestled far from the road on its 500' of channel frontage while its two-story decks and extended gables face the sunny southeast to Fox Lake. With its orchard of 40+ fruit trees bordered by mature mulberry trees, and a mix of hardwoods and wetland on the NE corner of the property, an abundance of wildlife is visited daily for your enjoyment. Deer, foxes, beaver, songbirds, heron, egret, turtles, and ducks are among the most frequent visitors to the property. While surrounded by the lakes and nature, the city lights and shopping are within 15 minutes in multiple directions. Catch the Metra rail out of Fox Lake to Chicago, visit one of many nearby harbors on Lake Michigan, or walk, bike, paddle, or powerboat to one of the Chain's many lakeside attractions. There are two parcels being sold together, the first of which contains the home, detached garage, greenhouse, and orchard. This is located above the channel, the majority of which (including the home) is well out of the flood plain. The second parcel encompasses the lower lot and shoreline to the centerline of the channel and includes a large pier in need of some repairs, and a "decommissioned" (but working) boat ramp from a previous marina
