Set on a 0.34-acre lot shaded by trees in Crete's Swiss Valley subdivision, this 1970 center-hall Colonial has 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a two-car attached side-load garage, and a fenced backyard with a patio. The front door opens to a center foyer with crown molding, with the living room on one side and the formal dining room on the other.

The living and dining rooms also have crown molding. A doorway from the dining room leads to the eat-in kitchen, which has wood cabinetry with glass-front uppers. Appliances include a gas range, a dishwasher, a microwave, and a side-by-side refrigerator with water and ice in the door, finished in stainless steel.

A sliding glass door off the eating area opens to the patio. The family room sits off the kitchen at the back of the house, with wood-paneled walls, dark wood ceiling beams, hardwood floors, and a bay window that overlooks the yard. A brick fireplace with a raised hearth is flanked by built-in shelving with cabinets below.

The main floor also includes a fifth bedroom or den with hardwood floors and a half bath beside it. A separate laundry room sits off the back hall. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom has carpet, double closets, windows on two sides, and a private full bath.

Three more bedrooms on the second floor have hardwood floors and share a full hall bath with a double-sink vanity and a laundry chute. The home has a full basement with open storage space. A white vinyl privacy fence encloses the backyard. Swiss Valley sits off Steger Road, under two miles northeast of downtown Crete. The home is in Crete-Monee Community Unit School District 201U, with Crete-Monee High School serving grades 9 through 12.
