About This Home
This newly renovated, ranch-style home has been updated from top to bottom and is ready for its new owners! The main floor features a spacious, freshly-painted living room with new windows, a huge picture window overlooking the wooded front lot that lets in lots of natural light! The newly refinished, gleaming hardwood floors in the living room flow down the hall and into 2 of the 3 bedrooms. All 3 bedrooms have brand new windows, have been freshly painted and have brand new fandeliers. One of the three bedrooms features a wood-accent wall and brand new carpeting under which you will also find hardwood flooring. The main-floor, full bath has been freshly painted, has a shower-tub combo, ceramic tile on both the floor and walls and a convenient linen closet. Enjoy great views of the huge, fully-fenced backyard from the kitchen and adjoining eating area! The kitchen has brand new countertops, refinished cabinets with brand new handles, new windows, a new chandelier over the eating area and a fandelier near the sink area. Head downstairs to the full basement that has been newly renovated for additional living space with a cozy, wood-burning, brick fireplace just in time for the colder months ahead and another full, brand-new bathroom. For convenience, there is a separate, unfinished laundry room with a workshop area and new slop sink. There's even a bonus room, though currently unfinished, can be used for additional storage, a workout room, hobby room or can be finished off to create a great home office! A brand new furnace and AC system was just installed in 2024, giving the new home owners peace of mind. Enjoy the outdoors from the expansive, refinished back deck that overlooks the huge, fully-fenced backyard! The front deck has been newly built and stained and is a great place to enjoy the neighborhood from! The entire exterior of the home has been freshly painted and has brand new gutters and soffits. Park your car or store your outdoor gear and equipment in the garage that is situated at end of the long side driveway. The garage has also been freshly painted and has a brand new window. Situated on over 1/4 acre lot, this home is located only a very short walk from Crystal Lake Beach and the Dole Mansion. You'll even be close to all the shopping, restaurants, entertainment and transportation that you could possibly need! See the full list of all updates that have been completed in this home to bring the new owners years of worry-free living!
