Home Details for 355 Buckingham Drive

WATER FRONT LOT in College Trails! Rarely available, this stunning home is one of just a handful that backs to the community's tranquil pond with it's natural landscaping; offering year-round views of wildlife, serene beauty and water activities like fishing, paddle boats, kayaks and ice skating. Lovingly maintained by the original owner, the exterior was completely re-styled in 2011 with stone accents, updated siding, and Prairie-style windows/sliders to complement its unique surroundings. Step inside to find a thoughtfully reimagined first floor (2013) featuring a reconfigured kitchen with high-quality, custom solid wood two-tier cabinetry (upper cabinets with glass fronts and lighting to showcase your finest pieces), Cambria quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and all stainless steel appliances (microwave replaced this month). The powder room was also updated, and solid-core doors with upgraded hardware were added throughout. The striking Mission-style ThermaTru front door makes a bold statement upon entry. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and family room with wood-burning fireplace-perfect for cozy fall evenings. Just off the family room, step out to the expansive TimberTech composite deck (2012) where you'll enjoy the sunrise over the water, while sunsets can be savored from the charming front porch. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private ensuite bath, along with two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. The full English basement is bright with natural light, framed with canned lighting and drywalled-ready for your finishing touch. College Trails offers unmatched convenience and lifestyle-just 5 minutes from historic downtown Grayslake's shops, cafes, farmer's market, and festivals, and only a few miles to 3 Metra stations. Outdoor lovers will appreciate nearby Rollins Savannah Forest Preserve with 53 acres of trails for hiking and biking, as well as College Trail Park with tennis, basketball, fishing, playground, and even ice skating in winter. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in an extraordinary setting!
