143 McCullom St, Crystal Lake, IL, 60014
About This Home
Stately home on a corner lot in one of Crystal Lake's most walkable historic pockets, just steps from Veteran Acres Park. Walk out your door to 140 acres of hiking trails through Sterne's Woods, Wingate Prairie (an Illinois Nature Preserve), and the Prairie Trail, plus the Nature Center, Acorn Alley splash pad, playground, fishing pier, and sled hills in winter. Downtown Crystal Lake is a short walk away for the Raue Center for the Arts, the restaurant and bar scene along Williams and Brink Streets, seasonal events, and the Metra station for the ride into the city. Real hardwood floors throughout the main level. Living room opens to a separate formal dining room with wainscoting. Upgraded kitchen with granite counters, breakfast bar peninsula, stainless steel appliances, 42-inch maple cabinets, and a bay window over the sink. The showstopper is the vaulted family room addition with a knotty pine ceiling, skylights, wood burning stove, and French doors to a private wood deck strung with cafe lights. Main level also offers a powder room and separate laundry space. All four bedrooms are upstairs, including a primary suite with private bath featuring a corner soaking tub, dual vanity, separate shower, and walk-in closet. Massive additional room upstairs works as a true owner's retreat or flex bonus space. Finished basement adds another full living level with a bar, second full bath, wood wainscoting, and great natural light, ideal as a potential in-law setup, guest suite, or teen space.
