RARE opportunity for lake access to Crystal Lake via the channel! With a full basement! Wonderful opportunity, this restored cottage is ADORABLE and move in ready! Fish off your pier in the backyard, or take the kayak out to the lake, all from your backyard! 4 (yes, 4) Exterior Decks (all recently restored!) to enjoy summer living in Crystal Lake...backyard deck has lakeviews!!! Brand new driveway just installed in last few years with pergola (covered parking, or outdoor hangout area?) As you walk to the front door there is a deck off the front entrance, rebuilt just a few years ago. Great place for morning coffee in the shade! Front door opens to big bright eat-in kitchen - great place to enjoy morning coffee or a happy hour in the evening. :) Easy-care wood laminate floors throughout most of the home (no carpet). Stylish painted cabinets with newer subway tile backsplash, and center island. Newer fridge. Cozy family room with fireplace, offers such a peaceful setting to relax. 3 bedrooms on the main level, there's an attic with drop down ladder for storage. Sunk-in Den off the front of the home - offering another space to relax, unwind and read or watch a movie. Basement has lots of space for storage or for little ones to hang out! Washer & Dryer included. Home was recently painted inside & out. NEWER & High Efficient Furnace AND WATER Heater...big expense saved for the lucky buyer! All new sill plates and new sump pump installed in 2021, giving the new homeowner extra peace of mind! Newer vinyl windows. AMAZING location, so ideal if you enjoy biking, walking, being near the water, summer festivals and fireworks, block parties & more! Walk to Lippold Park! (hiking, dog park, fields & more)... Grade school nearby! Take the bike to West or Main Beach! Few downtown Crystal Lake - restaurants, shopping, & Metra. This is more than just a home - it's a lifestyle! Being the near lake & all the fun, it's time to enjoy everything Crystal Lake offers!

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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