About This Home

PRICE IMPROVEMENT! This is your opportunity to own one of Bangs Lake's premier waterfront homes. Rare Lakefront Opportunity on Bangs Lake, Wauconda. If you've been searching for the ultimate lakefront lifestyle, look no further. Set on over 3/4 of an acre along the shores of Bangs Lake, this exceptional property offers panoramic water views, breathtaking sunsets, and the privacy of a tree-lined waterfront retreat. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, this home blends space, comfort, and elevated finishes throughout. A dramatic two-story foyer with a retractable chandelier welcomes you inside, opening to a formal dining room, private office, and an impressive great room with soaring windows and a stately fireplace, all perfectly framing the lake beyond. The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a spacious walk-in closet, in-room laundry, and a spa-inspired steam shower. The chef's kitchen is equipped with premium Thermador, Sub-Zero, and Electrolux appliances and flows seamlessly into a bright breakfast area and bar space featuring a double-tap kegerator. Step outside to a multi-level deck designed for entertaining or relaxing while taking in unobstructed water views. A cozy family room with built-ins, surround sound, and a wood-burning stone fireplace completes the main level. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, including three with ensuite baths and heated floors, plus a convenient second-floor laundry room. The walkout lower level features 9-foot ceilings, a spacious recreation area, wood-burning fireplace, additional bedroom and full bath, along with unfinished space ready for your vision. Enjoy true lake living with a beachfront patio, seawall, and direct access for boating, swimming, and summer fun. At the rear of the home, the multi-level decks have been fully renovated and freshly stained, complemented by updated landscaping. Additional highlights include an indoor-outdoor dog run, optional invisible fence, and a circular driveway connecting a three-car attached garage to a three-car detached garage with a built-in workbench. With boating season here, this is more than a home...it's a lifestyle on the water.
