3 Acres Near Town! Ultimate privacy! Opportunity to make it your own! Rare chance to purchase this brick, mid-century modern ranch home on a great yard w/partially wooded acres behind it & all in the heart of Crystal Lake. The owners love this property so much it has been kept in the family since it was built in 1950! There is simply nothing similar in the area! For this perfect lot and location, it's well worth updating the house to your specifications. The huge 3-season room features a grand brick fireplace and stone floor that gives this space a timeless feel. A wall of windows offers a gorgeous view of nature in the secluded backyard and woods beyond. Enjoy looking at deer and other wildlife with your morning coffee. Just picture the parties you'll have in this light and open space. You'll be charmed by the many original details like gorgeous beam ceilings, custom woodwork, and original floors. The expansive owner's suite has a private full bath. Plus there are 2 large guest bedrooms, a big living room and an additional full bath on the main level. Great opportunity for someone looking to put their own touches on a solid house. The unfinished lower level presents endless possibilities. It's currently a workshop, pantry and storage space. Plus central air/heat (furnace was recently serviced). Amazing construction - concrete floors & beams! There's also 2-car detached garage, but with acreage like this, there is room to expand or add more out-buildings, dog runs, garages, etc. Plus, plenty of parking for multiple vehicles, rv's, boats, etc. You'll also be close to highly-rated schools, the Metra & charming downtown Crystal Lake with its fun shops & restaurants. The crown jewel of the Crystal Lake Park District, Veteran's Acres, is just a 2-minute drive.
