Location, location, location, plus water views! Cape Cod Cottage in a wonderful neighborhood in town where you can walk to West Beach and Lippold Park. From the front deck where you can relax and watch the world go by (hikers, bikers around the lake or to the park) to the THREE back decks with water views, it's a one of a kind on the only channel to Crystal Lake. Big sunny kitchen with lots of cabinets and 9' high ceilings throughout home. Go through the arched doorway to relax in the back living room with big windows and cozy fireplace while the kids play in the separate den in front. Gazebo for covered parking and newer high efficiency furnace, water heater, fridge and the vinyl windows have a lifetime transferrable warranty. Easy care laminate floors throughout. Basement has built-in tables with storage under, funky lighting and a Wine Cellar! Washer and dryer included. Attic restored with drop-down ladder for tons of storage. Bonus-small screened in porch in back to watch the thunderstorms. You can't beat the charm and vibe of this adorable cottage anywhere. 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, festivals, BEACH & all the fun, it's time to enjoy everything Crystal Lake offers!
