Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained, owner built home on a full 1acre lot in the heart of Crete. Originally a 3bedroom layout, the previous owner opened the space for an oversized primary suite, but it can easily be converted back to three bedrooms if desired. This inviting property features fresh interior paint, quality wood cabinetry in the kitchen, and two full bathrooms. The expansive full open basement includes radiant heat flooring, a rough in for a third bathroom, and a separate entrance-making it ideal for an in-law suite, multigenerational living, or rental potential. The massive backyard is perfect for summer BBQs, entertaining friends, hosting large gatherings, or creating a dream outdoor oasis. An additional car shed provides extra storage and flexibility, while the full acre offers privacy and room to grow. Located in low tax Will County and served by the highly regarded Crete-Monee School District, this home is an excellent fit for small to large families seeking space, comfort, and long-term value. Property being sold as-is. Homes with this level of land, layout flexibility, and owner-built quality are rare-this one will not last long!
