A true country estate! 20 acres, mostly wooded, a custom built brick and steel ranch set back off the road for privacy and in the midst of your own park like setting. Massive bedrooms with incredible closet space. An open floor plan, large windows bring the outside into all the living spaces. 2 huge masonry fireplaces anchor the main rooms on each level. A custom built hardwood cabinetry kitchen with an oversized island connects to the living and dining rooms. The lower level is your own true recreation space with a full sized two lane bowling alley (working!), a bar, room for multiple card / game tables, a pool table and more. Radiant heat with multiple boilers, zoned central AC. The house is incredibly unique and is ready as is or for a new owner to bring their ideas and decorating touches. The yard blends into the 10+ acres of woods and water, there is a pond between the house and the road and you have to look very hard to see even one neighbors house. Everything here is on a grand scale. There are two large outbuildings in great shape, room for workshops, vehicle storage, indoor farming, bring your ideas! Unincorporated Crete is convenient to shopping and restaurants in St. John and Schererville, a 10 minute drive to Walts flagship grocery store, just 1 mile from the Indiana border and Stateline road. Development nearby is largely limited to properties of 9+ acres, maintaining the rural character of the area. Only an hour from downtown Chicago, 20 minutes to Metra, it can be a true country getaway, a retreat or simply a fabulous place to live in the midst of nature. The home has been lived in by the same family who had it built. It has amazing possibilities.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
