Frog Pond, Sand Volleyball Court Make Home A Unique Find

TINLEY PARK, IL — Sitting on a lush, wooded lot, this modest, five-bedroom home in Tinley Park feels like a unique getaway from daily stresses and hassles. But it's designed for everyday living, not an escape from it.

Located at 17726 Highland Ave., the property went on the market this summer. Recently, the list price dropped to $289,000.

What makes this such a one-of-a-kind find in the village are its fun features that don't feel forced. The cozy design is a sure conversation starter, with its hardwood floors, upstairs library nook and two see-through, stone fireplaces. But the home also has its modern touches, such as a basement wet bar and a kitchen outfitted with new stainless steel appliances.

The real treats are outside, though. A wrap-around deck looks out to a fish and frog pond that comes with a fountain. Then there's the above-ground, 24-foot pool, the firepit and sand volleyball court.
