The owners hate to leave, but family calls—creating a rare opportunity to own this beautifully updated and meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the highly desirable Four Colonies neighborhood.
Situated on nearly half an acre, the fully fenced backyard is a true private retreat, featuring mature evergreens, lush landscaping, and a spacious brick paver patio with gazebo—perfect for both everyday relaxation and entertaining. The patio is already equipped with a hot tub hookup, and both gas and electrical lines are run to the center of the backyard—offering a great opportunity for a future pool or expanded outdoor living space. Since purchasing, the owners have made extensive, thoughtful updates including adding and refinishing hardwood floors, installing recessed lighting, fresh interior paint throughout, a redesigned fireplace, a finished laundry room, updated kitchen appliances, and a new HVAC system. Custom molding throughout the home adds character and a refined, high-end finish. Every detail reflects care and quality—it is truly rare to find a home that has been so consistently maintained, updated, and solidly built. The bright, inviting kitchen offers granite countertops, custom KraftMaid cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a charming eat-in area with sliding doors leading to the patio. A matching dine-in table is included. Gas and electrical connections are already in place at the island, offering flexibility for future enhancements. All bathrooms have been tastefully updated. The home features a highly functional floor plan with well-connected living spaces, wide staircases, and minimal level changes—designed for both comfort and ease of living. Generous living and dining rooms, along with a spacious lower-level family room, provide plenty of room to gather and unwind. The finished basement adds valuable living space, abundant storage, and includes a rough-in for a future bathroom. A heated 2.5-car garage and an additional paver parking area provides space for another car, RV, or boat. Ideally located across from Crystal Lake Country Club and just a short walk to Main Beach and the historic Dole Mansion—home to farmers markets and year-round community events. All schools are within walking distance. Residents also enjoy membership in the Four Colonies Property Owners Association, with access to a 19-acre park and exceptional amenities including a pool, fitness center, sauna, sports courts, and playground. This home stands out as one of Crystal Lake’s finest offerings—truly checking every box: updated, private, impeccably maintained, thoughtfully designed, and ideally located within a vibrant community known for excellent schools and welcoming neighbors.
