The formal living and dining rooms both offer elegant bay windows and crown molding. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring an abundance of 42" custom oak cabinetry with crown molding, granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a large center island with a gas cooktop and prep sink. It flows into a spacious eat-in area with sliding doors to the deck, and into a cozy family room with bay window and fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite impresses with a bay window, a generous walk-in closet, and a luxurious en suite bath featuring granite counters, dual sinks, a jacuzzi tub, and a beautifully updated walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms, one with another bay window, and another full bath complete the second floor. The finished walkout basement provides incredible space for relaxing or entertaining, with a huge rec room, a second fireplace, full bathroom, and access to a second deck. You'll also find a charming bay window reading nook, two storage closets, and a large unfinished workroom for hobbies or additional storage. Additional highlights include: * Spacious first-floor laundry room with cabinetry and utility sink * New washer (2022) and dryer (2023) * Skylights for added natural light * Huge backyard with beautiful open views * Dual-zone HVAC (up & down) * Newer roof (2020), newer tankless water heater (2019), and newer A/C units (2023). All of this in a prime location just minutes from shopping, dining, downtown Crystal Lake, and the Metra station. This is a must-see home that checks every box!
