Motivated sellers offer a considerable price reduction on this now below-market-priced home. Location, Location, Location! Welcome to this stunning Sears "Auburn" craftsman two-story bungalow built in 1910 in downtown Crystal Lake. This well-preserved four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is only steps away from the library, top-rated schools, restaurants, commuter train, shopping, and the beach, making it an ideal location for anyone looking to experience the best of city living. As you step inside, you are immediately greeted by the home's attractive curb appeal, featuring a locally hand-crafted mahogany front door, a front picket fence, lush landscaping, a brick paver patio, and an additional privacy fence on the backyard's south side. The home is surrounded by century-old trees that provide a rare sense of seclusion in the city's heart, the perfect place to relax and unwind. Inside, the gourmet kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, undermount sink, and custom cabinetry. The main living areas feature millwork, hardwood flooring, and a large arched open entry separating the living and dining rooms. The family room has a wood-burning fireplace, built-ins, and abundant natural light. The home includes a first-floor bedroom or guest suite on the main level and a large main bedroom on the second level with a separate sitting area. The full basement offers storage and additional space, while a storage shed with a loft and a two-car garage is available outside. This historic home has central air conditioning, upgraded gutters, a brand-new water heater, and a furnace with a central humidifier in 2023, ensuring that it is ready to call your own. Offering elegance, uncompromising quality, and unique character at every turn, this home is truly a "lifestyle" and a rare find in downtown Crystal Lake. The house is in excellent condition; however, it is being sold "as is." Inquire about IHDA access mortgages and get up to $10k for the down payment and closing costs on this home with a preferred lender income restrictions apply.
