RARE FIND! A large (almost 3,100 square feet) 2-story with dry finished basement and 3 car garage in the sought-after "Gates" neighborhood of Crystal Lake. Being less than 3 blocks to the Crystal Lake Country Club, 4 private beaches and The Dole Mansion (with its Sunday Farmer's Market, Lakeside Festival, and more) make the location ideal! CL main beach (Concerts In The Park, playground, Chili Open, etc.) is only a few more blocks away. While we are talking about the location, let's mention the almost half-acre lot with huge, sunny backyard that is perfect for kids to run around in or add a pool. There is also a screened gazebo on the raised deck. Inside, you'll find oversized Pella windows; stained 6-panel doors; kitchen with hardwood floors, lots of cabinets, center island, planning desk, pantry closet and sliding doors leading to the deck; huge first floor laundry/mud room; first floor office tucked away toward the back of the house for quiet working or play/toy room. The inviting family room with fireplace opens into both the kitchen and the living room. In the basement there is a good-sized finished rec room with natural lighting, a workshop and a space that would make a perfect theater room. Now going upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary bedroom and ensuite bathroom with vaulted ceilings & his/her walk-in closets. The other 3 bedrooms and hall bathroom are also of generous sizes. All this, plus the convenience of city water & sewer. The original owner has loved and enjoyed this home for 30+ years! Now you can decorate to your tastes and make this your beloved family home!
