Gorgeous custom home on a private one acre lot in the scenic Paradise Grove neighborhood of Crystal Lake. The front yard overlooks a scenic pond where you'll find sandhill cranes frequenting. Let's lead with the 'fun'! Owners have made a recent investment of approximately $100,000 in a 36' x 18' heated salt water pool with slide, diving board, and basketball hoop, underwater lighting, and professional landscaping/patio area/fence. A job transfer necessitates that they leave all this FUN behind for the next lucky owner! Adjacent to the pool is a large screen porch, as well as an expansive deck, so the good times can easily flow from the inside to the out! The wonderful part of the pool's location is that there is still a huge, flat, open backyard yard for 'non-swimming fun' as well as an in-ground basketball hoop and two garden plots! As you step inside, you'll appreciate the dramatic 2-story foyer, which leads to a very welcoming family room with 17 a foot stone fireplace. The floor plan flows right into the gourmet kitchen with a massive island, large enough for 6+ people, and 42" maple cabinetry. The kitchen's large pantry, as well as the 1st floor mud/laundry room are perfectly suited for today's busy families! The stately home office has custom built-ins, wainscoting, and French doors. Head upstairs via the dual staircase, and you'll find 4 huge bedrooms, 3 of which have walk in closets. The primary suite includes 2 large walk in closets, and a luxurious bathroom with soaker tub. The finished English basement is light and bright, and has a gas fireplace. Recently installed vinyl flooring makes party clean-up a breeze! Basement has a huge 5th bedroom and full bathroom. The 3-car garage is heated and has lots of room for storage. This wonderfully maintained home has so much that is 'newer,' (full list of updates/upgrades is available on MLS), including: washer/dryer, refrigerator, furnace and A/C, water softener, ejector pump, 1500 gallon septic tank, exterior paint and wood shutters, deck paint, much of the interior paint, basement flooring, shake roof cleaned and restored, screens on porch, pool and all pool equipment. There is over 5,500sf of finished space in this centrally located home - just 3.5 miles to downtown Crystal Lake, the Metra stations, and the Route 14 retail corridor. Excellent schools. You'll want to see this home today to get ready for SUMMER FUN!
