Home Details
Nestled on a beautifully maintained half-acre lot, this charming home combines timeless craftsmanship with modern, energy-efficient upgrades and a tranquil backyard designed for sustainable living! The main level features an open-concept living and dining room with big, beautiful windows that flood the space with natural light. The home is built with high-quality construction; the doors are made of solid oak, there is crown molding, and hardwood floors are installed throughout most of the main level. (Hardwood floors are under the carpet in the bedrooms.) If the owners were to stay, they would have loved to remodel the kitchen, remove the wall and stairs between the kitchen and dining room, and add an expansive island to gather around. The sliding glass door opens to a private concrete patio on the southeast side of the home, providing a shaded retreat from the summer heat and the perfect spot to unwind during warm evenings. Three bedrooms are located on the main level. The primary bedroom features two bi-fold closets, a slider to a private deck, and a separate entrance to the shared bath. The remodeled bathroom is gorgeous, featuring dual sinks, heated floors, and a stylish tile shower surround. The expansive walk-out lower level spans 1,288 square feet, providing versatile living space that can easily be tailored to your needs, whether as additional living area or even an in-law suite for multi-generational living. The family room features a wood-burning fireplace and is perfect for movie nights or Sunday football games, complete with a wide-screen TV. Two additional bedrooms could also be used as an office and/or exercise room; one of these rooms has a connecting door to the recently remodeled full bath. There is ample space in the closets and the crawl space for storage. This home features a laundry and mechanical room that is the cleanest and brightest you will ever see, with a door leading directly to the backyard. This home features energy-efficient upgrades, including solar power, 16-inch insulation in the attic, and foam board insulation under the siding. A new well was drilled in 2005, and the well pressure tank was replaced in 2024. The siding, roof (30-year shingles), and windows were replaced in 2005. The dual-zoned HVAC system was installed in 2008 and was the highest efficiency at its time. The Generac full-house generator provides peace of mind in the event of a power outage. This well-maintained half-acre lot is fully fenced with durable iron fencing and features a shed with a loft, offering ample space for tools, equipment, or seasonal storage. Sustainable living meets country charm; this backyard features a chicken coop, a fenced garden perfect for growing vegetables, and raspberry bushes that make backyard snacking a delight. Two-car garage with an outside area on the left to store garbage cans and firewood. A long asphalt driveway is ideal for housing multiple vehicles and visitors. Ideally located just minutes from downtown Crystal Lake's vibrant shops and restaurants, this home offers outdoor enthusiasts easy access to Veteran Acres Park and The Hollows Conservation Area. Enjoy the convenience of being close to Routes 31 and 14, plus a quick seven-minute walk to Pingree Train Station for easy commuting! Welcome Home!
