Description

Welcome home to this beautifully updated raised ranch in a prime Crystal Lake location! Just minutes from downtown, schools, parks, restaurants, shops, and the train station, this home combines comfort, style, and convenience. Step inside and instantly feel the warmth of this home. On the main level, the inviting living room and dining area create the perfect setting for cozy mornings with coffee, relaxing evenings with a good book, or hosting friends and family. Though more intimate in size, the updated kitchen shines with shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, premium flooring, and modern LED lighting- creating a modern and functional space you'll love using. Just down the hall, the primary bedroom and second bedroom provide comfortable retreats, with an updated full bathroom close by. The lower level expands your living space with a versatile family room- whether you're planning movie marathons, game nights, or carving out a quiet corner for a home office, this space adapts to your lifestyle. A third bedroom and second full bathroom make it perfect for guests or extended family, while the laundry area, complete with updated flooring (done 6-8 months ago), adds both style and practicality. Enjoy the outdoors in your own backyard retreat. A brand-new brick paver tile patio (done in 2023), complete with a pergola/canopy and string lights, sets the perfect scene for peaceful evenings, outdoor dining, or simply unwinding after a long day. Recent updates give peace of mind, including a newer roof and gutters (2019), and new windows (2021). Energy-efficient features and a ductless mini-split system for both heating and cooling- plus the all-electric setup means no fossil gas bills. With its modern updates, versatile layout, and unbeatable location, this home is move-in ready and waiting for its next chapter. Room dimensions are approximate; buyers are advised to verify all measurements. Seller is offering a $2,000 credit toward the purchase of an upstairs air conditioning unit, as there is only one unit in the lower level, to ensure added comfort for the buyer. Saturday Open Home is cancelled.
