Owner has spent over $6,000 on improvements in the last year, so this home is ready for its next owner.

The home also received professional energy-efficiency improvements through the Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program (IHWAP), including air sealing and a Broan continuous ventilation fan designed to promote healthy airflow and help manage indoor moisture.

The home may benefit from some interior painting and possibly new bedroom carpeting, allowing the next owner to choose colors and finishes that reflect their personal style. The owner is selling due to relocation and will carefully consider all reasonable offers. Note the lot rent for this home is among the lowest in the park. This well-cared-for home is ready for its next owner to make it their own and enjoy everything Willow Lake Estates has to offer. Home is in fantastic condition, so this sale is as is.
