Crystal Lake Charmer - Renovated, Spacious, and Perfectly Located! Welcome to your dream home in the heart of Crystal Lake! Nestled in a quiet, established neighborhood, this beautifully renovated property offers the perfect blend of nature, convenience, and modern living. Just a 5-minute walk to West Beach, you can enjoy lazy summer afternoons by the lake or scenic strolls any time of year. The forest preserve in your backyard creates a private, wooded retreat-ideal for morning coffee with birdsong or sunset bonfires under the trees. Step inside and be wowed by the 2024 renovations: brand-new siding, roof, gutters, flooring, kitchen, and water heater-everything has been thoughtfully updated for worry-free living and contemporary comfort. The bright, open kitchen flows into spacious living areas, perfect for entertaining or cozy nights in. A rare 3-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, or a home workshop. And when you're ready to hit the town, downtown Crystal Lake is just minutes away, offering restaurants, shops, festivals, and a vibrant community vibe. Don't forget you will be a few minutes drive from the Dole Market farmers market every Sunday. Don't miss this one-it's not just a house, it's a lifestyle!
