About 709 N County St

Welcome to Waukegan's Near North Historic District! Just a mile from the beach, harbor, and downtown, 709 N County Street combines historic charm with modern updates - perfectly blending old-world character with today's conveniences. Step inside and feel the warmth of this lovingly maintained home. Built with craftsmanship that's hard to find today, this home showcases original hardwood floors flowing through the first and second floors, highlighted by beautiful dentil and crown moulding - timeless details that speak to an era when homes were built to last. The cozy living room opens right into the formal dining room - ideal for both quiet nights in and lively gatherings. The kitchen, refreshed in 2021, features sleek new cabinet fronts, solid black granite countertops, and a stylish new sink. Appliances have been updated, too - Bosch dishwasher (2021), Samsung refrigerator (2020), and LG microwave (2024). A handy powder room and laundry room with a stacking washer and dryer (2020) round out the main floor. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and a remodeled full bathroom (2019). The primary bedroom even has a walk-in closet with a sweet dressing area - your own little escape. The full, unfinished basement is an added plus - use it as extra storage or turn it into a cozy family room or bar, just like the current owners did. Outside, enjoy the brand-new vinyl siding (2023), a brick paver patio (2023), and a Trex back porch and stairs (2023). The front and back yards are thoughtfully landscaped with mature perennials, adding pops of color all year long. Recent upgrades also include new HVAC (2022), vinyl fencing (2023), and exterior painting with upgraded lighting (2024). For added peace of mind, a radon mitigation system was installed in February 2025-an important feature that ensures a safer, healthier home environment. Location couldn't be better-just over a block to Upton Park and minutes from the Genesee Theater, Waukegan Park District, and the library. This home is full of heart, history, and quality craftsmanship-ready for its next owner to love.
