Property Description
Welcome home to this all-brick custom-built home in 2004. This home was built to entertain with an open concept and is located on a dead-end street adjacent to a massive green belt belonging to a private school. This is no cookie-cutter home with sprawling room sizes throughout. Massive kitchen with an eating area large enough for 8 or more. 2-story vaulted family room with a gorgeous fireplace overlooking the ultra-private backyard, lush with green space. The master bedroom features a bonus tandem area that can be used as a nursery or craft area. Over 2000sf unfinished basement with high ceilings offering endless options. Car enthusiasts will love the side-load 3-car garage that features super tall ceilings and the ability to add a lift. Located directly behind a private school, but also very close to downtown Crete. This property will require a short sale. Buyer must allow 60-90 days for 3rd party approval. Short sale is being processed by a highly skilled short sale attorney who has closed 1000's of short sales to date.
