Property Description
Crystal Lake Charmer - Renovated, Spacious, and Perfectly Located! Welcome to your dream home in the heart of Crystal Lake! Nestled in a quiet, established neighborhood, this beautifully renovated property offers the perfect blend of nature, convenience, and modern living. Just a 5-minute walk to West Beach, you can enjoy lazy summer afternoons by the lake or scenic strolls any time of year.

The bright, open kitchen flows into spacious living areas, perfect for entertaining or cozy nights in. A rare 3-car garage provides ample space for vehicles, storage, or a home workshop. And when you're ready to hit the town, downtown Crystal Lake is just minutes away, offering restaurants, shops, festivals, and a vibrant community vibe. Don't forget you will be a few minutes drive from the Dole Market farmers market every Sunday. Don't miss this one-it's not just a house, it's a lifestyle!
