Welcome to your own private retreat in Crystal Lake! Nestled on nearly 6 acres of lush countryside, this impeccable 4-bedroom ranch home offers a perfect blend of seclusion and convenience, just 10 minutes from town, the Metra, and all of Crystal Lake's shops and restaurants. It's also just minutes from West Elementary, the Butternut Preserve, the shores of sparkling Crystal Lake, and all the fun at Lippold Park. The home features a newly renovated kitchen with custom hickory cabinets, breakfast island, quartz countertops, walk-in pantry, and higher-end appliances. The main floor also includes a spacious laundry room, adding to the home's functionality and ease of living. The walkout lower level includes a large recreation room, and an 'in-law suite' with bedroom, full bathroom, and a second kitchen, providing flexibility for multi-generational living or guest accommodations. This additional space is also ideal for entertaining, with a wet bar, and direct access to the sprawling outdoors. All interior doors in this home are custom-made from knotty alder wood, giving this home a luxurious feel. This property is a nature lover's dream with trails winding through the wooded lot, perfect for hikes or cross-country skiing. An expansive 20' x 30' outdoor enclosed area, complete with a chicken coop, offers a wonderful opportunity for those interested in raising chickens or other small animals. The acreage is a haven for wildlife, with trophy deer and wild turkeys roaming the grounds - offering a rare opportunity for field sports. This home is a rare find, combining the best of both worlds- a country lifestyle with easy access to conveniences. Other very recent updates include: fiberglass front door with dentil molding, luxury vinyl floors throughout, furnace, water softener, well pump, driveway, insulated garage doors, garage door openers, appliances, washer/dryer, hot water heater, and new compressor in the A/C unit. The home's electrical panel is also set up for an external generator. There is a large parking pad on the side of the home, as well as a covered carport, so you'll have plenty of places to park additional vehicles, an RV, boat, or 'toys.' Don't miss your chance to experience this special, meticulous property.
