At A Glance

A residence held inside its own woods.

Five-and-a-half acres of mature trees, framed by a neighborhood that ends at your tree line. The house carries the scale of an estate: 6,150 square feet, five bedrooms, four baths, a finished basement built to host, and a separate 40x50 pole barn behind the home. Five minutes from the St. John shopping corridor; ten from the expressway to Chicago.

A First Look

Walk the grounds. Porch, compound, canopy.

The story moves outward: the porch where the day starts, the wider compound with the detached pole barn, and finally the aerial that reveals how the acreage sits inside the surrounding neighborhood. Book a private walk-through to see how the interior holds it together.

The covered front porch at 9905 W 113th Ave, with rocking chairs, fall mums in planters, an autumn wreath on the wooden front door, and brick columns framing the porch — The covered porch in October. Wooden door, mums in fall colors, rocking chairs already in place.

A long view down the wraparound porch with paired white rocking chairs on a patterned rug, brick wall on one side, dark iron spindles set into the wood porch rail on the other, and a glimpse of the rear pole barn through the porch posts — The porch as a corridor. Brick on one side, dark iron spindles on the other, the pole barn visible at the far end.

Side angle of the home showing the attached two-car garage on the brick side elevation, the detached white pole barn beyond a paved driveway, and the property's tree line behind both structures — The compound. Attached garage on the house, a separate pole barn beyond the drive.

Aerial view of 9905 W 113th Ave showing 5.67 acres of dense mixed-hardwood canopy in autumn colors, the home's white roofline tucked into the trees at the left, with the surrounding cleared neighborhood and a distant town skyline visible on the horizon — From above. The 5.67 acres of mixed hardwoods hold their own inside the surrounding development.

Wider front-elevation view of 9905 W 113th Ave across the manicured front lawn, the three dormers and wraparound porch in full view, the mature oak in the foreground anchoring the left of the frame — The residence, as you arrive. Three dormers, wraparound porch, the front oak.

“A 5.67-acre wooded retreat where wildlife abounds, offering privacy while still being in a neighborhood setting.”

The Residence

Built for a household that wants room.

The main floor is built around the living. A formal dining room. A kitchen with new granite, an updated pantry, and refreshed lighting. Elegant hardwood floors flow through the public rooms. A pellet stove anchors the living room. Main-floor laundry sits where it should, off the everyday path.

Below, the finished basement carries an entertainer's footprint: a wet bar, durable luxury vinyl underfoot, and space arranged for hosting at scale. Upstairs holds the bedroom count, including a primary suite with a steam shower and an air tub.

Outdoors, the porch system does the seasonal work. A covered front porch for the arrival. A screened porch for the long evenings. A three-season room. A rear Trex deck for the gatherings. The whole-house speaker system, the spray-foam insulation, the 2020 water heater, the whole-house generator, and the new water softener with reverse osmosis are the kind of details that quietly add up over the decades.

The Land

Five-And-A-Half Acres

A 5.67-acre wooded retreat held inside a neighborhood. Wildlife abounds. Hunting on the property is an option here. The reason this address feels rare.

The Pole Barn

A 40-By-50 Outbuilding

Radiant heat lines beneath the concrete, ready to be connected. Its own electrical panel. Plumbing roughed in for a bathroom. Floor-to-ceiling shelving stays.

The Distance

Ten Minutes To The Expressway

Five minutes to the St. John shopping corridor on US 41. Ten minutes to the expressway to Chicago. Fifteen to the new South Shore station in Dyer.

The Details

What makes it singular.

5.67 Wooded Acres

A working canopy of mixed hardwoods, framed inside a neighborhood. The listing notes wildlife, hunting privileges on the property, and the privacy that comes with a tree line of your own.

The 40×50 Pole Barn

Radiant lines under the concrete, a dedicated electrical panel, plumbing roughed in for a bathroom, and floor-to-ceiling shelving that stays. A second building, ready for whatever a buyer needs from it.

Finished Basement

An entertainer's level. A wet bar, luxury vinyl flooring rated for hosting, and the kind of square footage that lets the gathering find its own corner.

The Porch System

Covered front porch, screened porch, three-season room, and a rear Trex deck. Four ways to be outside, each one tuned to a different season and a different hour.

Built To Run Quietly

Spray-foam insulation. A roughly five-year-old HVAC. A 2020 water heater. A whole-house generator. A new water softener with reverse osmosis. Steam shower and air tub in the primary. A whole-house speaker system, indoors and out.

The Land

Cedar Lake, as it lives.

Cedar Lake sits at the southern edge of the Chicago metro, where the suburbs run out into farmland and the lake gives the town its name. The St. John shopping corridor on US 41 sits five minutes north. The expressway to Chicago is a ten-minute drive. The new South Shore station in Dyer is fifteen, putting downtown Chicago inside an hour on the train.

The neighborhood reads quiet and residential. The line where this property begins is the line where the trees take over.

Five minutes to St. John shopping. Ten minutes to the expressway.
