The story

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING! This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers far more than meets the eye! Ideally located within walking distance to Crystal Lake Beach, parks, and schools, this home welcomes you with a spacious open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and an inviting sense of style and comfort. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, a breakfast bar, custom pantry with soft-close drawers, and newer KitchenAid stove and dishwasher (2023). The family room is the perfect gathering space, showcasing a custom fireplace and vaulted ceiling. A patio door off the kitchen opens to a brick paver patio, gazebo, and beautifully fenced yard-a true gardener's dream and an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. Numerous improvements provide peace of mind, including new windows throughout (2020), two new storm doors (2022), new front door (2023), energy-efficient furnace, air conditioner, humidifier and air cleaner (2024), and all-new interior doors (2025). The garage features an epoxy floor for a polished, durable finish. A huge detached outbuilding with electricity offers endless possibilities for a workshop, hobby space, or additional storage. With its desirable location, thoughtful updates, versatile spaces, and exceptional outdoor setting, this home is truly a must-see.
