Property Description

The steal of the century! Calling all architects, designers, contractors, and visionaries. This is your chance to bring new life to one of downtown Crystal Lake's historic gems. Surrounded by thoughtfully restored homes, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers unmatched character, proven rental potential, and the opportunity to build lasting value in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods. Features include soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, stained and leaded glass windows, and a brand-new roof (July 2025). The main level features formal living and dining rooms, a gas fireplace, built-ins, and an updated kitchen with attached office. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms plus a separate apartment with private entrance, kitchen, bath, bedroom, and bonus room ideal for added income, an in-law arrangement, or conversion into a spacious primary suite. A large walk-up attic and wrap-around porch add even more opportunity for expansion. For buyers who appreciate history (and aren't afraid of a few projects), this home offers instant equity and long-term potential. Just 1.5 blocks from the train and steps from shopping and dining, this property combines prime location, character, and upside. Also listed as an office under MLS #12485159. Don't miss out!
