Home Details
This is not your average ranch. This is the kind of home that makes you pause mid-scroll and think, "Is it too soon to fall in love?" Nestled on a lush, oversized corner lot less than a mile from both downtown Crystal Lake and the lake itself, this absolutely gorgeous home is the perfect blend of charm, style, and substance. Step inside to find 1,280 square feet of warm, inviting space upstairs, plus another 1,280 square feet of fully finished, fabulous living space below-that's over 2,500 square feet of beautifully maintained comfort. On the main level, you'll find three bedrooms, a freshly updated full bath, a magazine worthy kitchen and refinished hardwood floors that flow throughout. The windows? Thoughtfully done. The original character-rich ones remain where they matter most-preserving the home's charm-while new windows have been added throughout the rest of the house to bring in light, efficiency, and modern convenience. Downstairs, things get even better: a massive recreation or living space, a huge fourth bedroom, and a stylish full bathroom that vibes more spa than basement. Whether you are hosting guests, movie nights, or just need your own peaceful retreat, this lower level delivers. The kitchen? Upgraded! The bathrooms? Updated! The finishes? Thoughtfully chosen. The vibe? Straight out of Crate & Barrel catalog. This home is elegant without being fussy, cozy without sacrificing style, and every inch has been lovingly maintained. Outside, the yard is its own private retreat. Professionally landscaped, fully fenced with an invisible dog fence, and complete with a lovely deck and patio, it's the kind of backyard that practically begs for summer dinners and lazy Sunday mornings. The roof and gutters were replaced in 2020, and the boiler new in 2018-the unglamorous stuff you'll be very glad someone else already handled so you can focus on enjoying life instead of managing repairs. Add in a two-car garage, a location that's walkable to everything, and the kind of curb appeal you usually see in glossy magazines, and you've got yourself one heck of a Crate & Barrel-worthy home. Crystal Lake has it all with access to the sparkling lake itself, the epic 3 Oaks Recreation Center, the charming Dole mansion, and a downtown that's basically a Hallmark movie set-there's something happening every weekend. Think farmer's markets, parades, and maybe a random cornhole tournament. Come see it. Feel it. Fall in love with it. Just don't wait-homes this beautiful never stay a secret for long.
