NEW PRICE!! And...home was just appraised last month at $530,000. INSTANT EQUITY, anyone!?!?! This is one of the most meticulously updated and cared-for homes you will find. Situated on a lush 1.3 acres, this Crystal Lake home is located in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood, tucked away from the 'hustle and bustle.' Its stately curb appeal is accentuated by the circular drive and manicured landscaping. The private backyard boasts a newer 600sf cedar deck, 200sf Paveloc hardscape patio, storage shed and playset for the kids/grandkids! Step inside and the quality is immediately apparent. Handsome 3/4" oak floors are graced by a wonderfully updated kitchen with Kraftmaid solid maple cabinetry, granite counters, prep island, breakfast island, a pantry, and newer SS appliances. The adjacent hearth room offers the coziest place to sit and enjoy a meal or game of cards. Its gas fireplace is solid brick masonry, inside and out. The main level also includes a den, living room, laundry room, family room addition with vaulted ceiling and oversized windows, and an office with its own private entrance. Head upstairs and you'll find 4 generously sized bedrooms, along with updated baths. The primary bedroom suite offers enough space for a sitting area, has a walk in closet, and a newly remodeled bathroom with sophisticated tile and a heavy glass door. The basement is professionally finished ('15) with a custom bar area, and there is a 540sf crawl space that is clean as a whistle and offers amazing additional storage. You'll never be afraid of a power outage with the 16KW whole home NG generator (approx. $6k value) ('19), which can be monitored through your smart phone! This is truly a 'turnkey' home with so many spaces for everyone to go!
