About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to 8 Berk Lane in the desirable Lincolnshire Subdivision of Crete! This expansive quad-level home sits on three parcels and offers just under 5,000 square feet of living space. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, plus a bonus office area conveniently located off the living room/kitchen, this property provides both functionality and endless potential. While this home is not a move-in ready HGTV-style property, it is the perfect opportunity for buyers looking to create their dream home. Hardwood floors lie beneath the carpeting, just waiting to be revealed. The spacious eat-in kitchen, large family room, and basement provide ample room for gatherings and entertainment. Situated on a wooded lot, the backyard offers beautiful views and attracts local wildlife such as deer and foxes-ideal for nature lovers seeking peace and privacy. This is truly a rare chance to add sweat equity and transform this home into something spectacular in one of Crete's most established neighborhoods. Please Note: This is an estate sale and the property is being sold as-is, where-is. The seller will not negotiate based on inspection findings, so buyers are encouraged to complete their due diligence prior to submitting an offer. Don't miss this opportunity to unlock the full potential of 8 Berk Lane and make it your next place to call home!
