## Description

### Agent Description
Storybook Cape Cod charm meets modern comfort on a quiet dead end street in one of Crystal Lake's most desirable locations. This beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2.1 bath home features hardwood flooring throughout, a sought-after main level primary suite, an updated kitchen and baths, and a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace and custom built-in shelving. The bright, inviting sunroom showcases soaring ceilings and walls of windows overlooking the peaceful, fenced backyard, creating the perfect space to relax, entertain, or enjoy your morning coffee. The finished basement offers exceptional versatility with a spacious study/flex room that can easily serve as a guest room, home office, fitness room, or hobby space, along with a recreation area, half bath, workshop, and abundant storage. Outside, enjoy the expansive deck and an oversized 2.5 car detached garage with ample space for projects, hobbies, additional storage, or a workshop. A separate storage shed provides even more room for lawn equipment and outdoor essentials. Major updates include owned solar panels (2024) with the opportunity to receive transferable Renewable Energy Credit (REC) benefits, new windows and gutters (2025), and a roof (2021). Ideally located just minutes from downtown Crystal Lake, Metra, top rated schools, shopping, dining, and parks, this home offers timeless character, thoughtful updates, energy efficiency, and exceptional value. This is the one you've been waiting for!
