Positioned directly in the heart of Fox Lake with serene water views and convenient lake access, 74 Cathryn St presents an incredible opportunity for savvy investors, project-driven buyers, or short-term rental operators looking to add value in a high-demand resort location. BRAND-NEW TEAR OFF ROOF COMPLETED THIS YEAR: The heaviest capital expenditure is already taken care of with a brand-new, full tear-off roof replacement, protecting your bottom line from day one. NEWER AC SYSTEM: Replaced central air compressor unit within the last 5 years reduces initial repair overhead and keeps mechanicals solid. UNBEATABLE LOCATION & ACCESS: Clear lake views and swimming and recreation at nearby Lakefront Park within walking distance deliver a major selling point for future tenants, buyers, or vacation guests. MASSIVE EQUITY & VALUE-ADD POTENTIAL: Bring your toolbox or contractor team to update the interior finishes. The functional layout provides a solid canvas to execute a high-ROI rehab, create a lucrative long-term rental (permit required for short term rentals), or design an attractive vacation getaway on the Chain. Whether you're looking to flip, buy-and-hold, or build sweat equity in a waterfront community, major work including the roof and driveway is already done-now it's ready for your vision. Property is being sold AS-IS. CASH OR HARD MONEY LOANS ONLY.
