Don't miss this downtown Crystal Lake brick bungalow with enhanced Craftsman style interior architecture. This single story house features both the rustic and elegant design of the Arts and Crafts movement: 9-foot ceilings throughout, white Mission wainscoting and extravagant coffered ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Upon entering the home, a welcoming foyer features built-in seating with warm wood accents leading the way to a stunning living room full of light and charm. Engineered hardwood floors throughout most of the living areas, with new plank flooring in the kitchen and enclosed porch. The kitchen includes white Mission cabinets, hardwood countertops, a new cast iron sink, and a breakfast counter seating three. A combo washer/dryer in an ample utility closet completes the convenience of this home's one-floor living. Custom-fit removable interior storms make the house cozy and draft-free in the winter. A full 1000-foot divided basement is the perfect place for storage and a large workshop, with a handy utility sink for project cleanup. A new 25-year architectural shingle roof was installed in 2017. The water heater was updated in 2018 with a Rheem 10-year model. The garage exterior was stripped clean and repainted in 2018. A new asphalt driveway was installed in 2023. The full house interior and its exterior wood trim are freshly painted. Located beside the Illinois Prairie Bike Path, this is a nature lover's paradise with huge wildflower butterfly gardens, a cold-hardy cactus and agave garden, and even a large Basjoo banana plant beside the house! Just minutes to Chicago Metra commuter trains, the farmer's market, beautiful Veteran Acres/Sterne's Woods Parks, and Crystal Lake's downtown shops and festivals!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
