Property Description

Step into a piece of Crystal Lake history with this stunning "Painted Lady" Queen Anne Victorian in the heart of Historic Downtown Crystal Lake. Built in 1905 by the city's first mayor, this one-of-a-kind home beautifully blends timeless character with today's modern updates. From the moment you arrive, the inviting wraparound porch welcomes you to slow down, relax, and enjoy the charm of this remarkable property. Inside, you'll be captivated by the original craftsmanship and architectural details throughout, including authentic crown molding, original doors, built-ins, and gorgeous Bird's Eye Maple hardwood floors. The elegant parlor features a large picture window that fills the space with natural light, while the spacious living and dining rooms create the perfect setting for entertaining or everyday living. The expanded and remodeled kitchen is truly the heart of the home, offering abundant cabinetry, quartz countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, vaulted ceilings, and a skylight that brightens the entire space. A flexible adjoining area provides endless possibilities for a home office, playroom, or sitting area, while the conveniently located first-floor bedroom/office/studio and updated full bath add even more versatility. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom connects to a large closet and shared bath, accompanied by two additional bedrooms and a cozy office or reading room complete with built-in bookshelves. The full basement has a high ceiling and provides excellent storage and additional potential. Major updates give peace of mind, including new electrical, plumbing, ductwork, furnace, humidifier, and water heater, plus a 50-year roof installed in 2021. Additional features include newer windows, updated concrete walks and driveway, a whole-house fan, pull down stairs for attic access to 3rd floor, and a large 3-car garage with workshop space and dog run. Located just steps from vibrant downtown Crystal Lake, you'll enjoy easy access to Metra, restaurants, shops, entertainment, and the Raue Center. The seller also states the property may qualify for an 8-year historic tax exemption through the city. Corner lot is also buildable and could have a driveway on either Woodstock St or Marian Parkway. ***R2 (service business per seller) zoning on the house and lot, give this property exciting possibilities for a home business, service business, studio, or future investment opportunity.*** Historic beauty, modern convenience, and unmatched character - this is more than a home; it's a rare opportunity to own a true Crystal Lake landmark. Professional photos coming soon.
