Property Description

Celebrated Crystal Lake-A piece of history with small-town charm and big-city convenience. Step into the story of Crystal Lake's first library, where history meets modern living. Originally established in 1914, this enchanting two-story farmhouse sits on a tree-lined street in downtown Crystal Lake, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of the town's heritage. Once home to the town's first library, this residence is deeply tied to Crystal Lake's legacy, with H.A. Dodge himself coining the town's beloved slogan: *"A Good Place to Live."* Nestled on a spacious 0.62-acre corner lot, the home features expansive front and side yards, a private fenced backyard, and a concrete patio, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. With a prime downtown location, residents enjoy unmatched accessibility, including the METRA commuter train for quick access to Chicago, as well as a vibrant downtown filled with boutiques, restaurants, and entertainment. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby Three Oaks Recreation Area, two beaches, and scenic parks perfect for hiking, fishing, and picnicking. The home's historic character is complemented by thoughtful updates, including newer siding and a roof (2016) on both the home and oversized two-car detached garage. Inside, oak floors grace the living room, which features a cozy gas log fireplace, while an enclosed heated front porch with a wood-paneled ceiling provides year-round enjoyment. A spacious slate tile foyer makes a welcoming first impression, leading to three generously sized bedrooms on the second floor and three full bathrooms, including a primary en suite with a classic clawfoot bathtub. The finished basement offers flexible space for a recreation room, home office, or additional living area. Separate dining and breakfast rooms create a perfect flow for both entertaining and everyday living. Additional comforts include a five-zone boiler heating system, a whole-house attic fan, and central air conditioning, ensuring comfort in every season. With a blend of historic charm and modern convenience, this beautifully maintained home is a rare gem in Crystal Lake-schedule your private tour today!
