17717 Mcguire Rd.

The willow lined drive leads to the circle drive with the popular Cedar Lindahl style home, on 5 acres, and well set back from the road. Grazing pastures in the front are in view from your front porch! The 5-stall, heated barn has not been used for 10 years but would just take some vision and elbow grease to be able to accommodate various sized horses. Year around riding is not a luxury, in Chicago its a necessity! There is an above average sized indoor arena for the horses, or for an unlimited variety of toys and hobbies. ATVs, Classic Cars, other types of collections, AND more income possibilities for storing boats, mobile homes etc. The 1993 built arena could save money and make money by having a training/boarder business. That income could pay your taxes and upkeep! Additionally there are 2 more large barns, one for hay and storage and the other, a shelter for the outdoor pasture horses, joining the 3 large grass pastures and lanes to the front. The kitchen is the hub of the home and is centered between the great room with raised hearth stone fireplace and huge dining area. Off the kitchen is a sunny breakfast room overlooking back yard and a joy to sit in. Two charming, first floor bedrooms, including primary with cathedral ceiling and own bath. The other end of the house is the second bedroom with full bath including separate shower. Laundry/mud room with attached bath are also on the first floor with own entrance. 2nd floor loft lends itself to be a 3rd bedroom but this owner uses it as a den and home office with loads of built ins and plenty of storage. Beautiful cedar beams and ceiling are details rarely seen anymore. Relatively newer roof. Loads of closets. This unique gem is in need of a bit of restoration but is still quite solid and nothing a little love & energy can't fix. Property offers a lot of possibilities! Don't miss it.
