About This Home
As of August 2025Welcome home to 26 Hill Drive! This cute as a button 2 bed, 2 bath ranch with full basement has been well maintained. The charm of the 1950's has been preserved throughout from the original Anderson storm door & solid wood front door, the original hardwood flooring on the main level, & woodburning stove in the living room to the original St. Charles cabinetry that is in spectacular condition in the kitchen. Neutral colors & tons of storage space, plus a full partially finished basement with a 2nd full bath, laundry, possible 3rd bedroom in basement, & a brand new roof! This home is a gem for any buyer... Perfect in town location close to schools, public library, downtown business district, Metra, shopping, dining, bike path & the Crystal Lake Park District parks & beaches are just a short drive away as well. This home is ideal for a starter, downsizing, or it could also be an excellent addition to your investment portfolio!
