This is your chance for "country living" in a charming Tudor-style home on a unique property in northwest suburban, unincorporated Crystal Lake, IL. This EAST- facing property has been well-maintained and is positioned on a spacious 1/2 acre lot. Located on a winding drive, it has 5 bedrooms, 3 Bath and a 2 car attached garage, with additional detached 8 car garage. TOTAL PARKING potential is 10 INDOOR spaces. The roof was redone in 2025 with 50 year architectural shingles. Entering the home, from the foyer you see an open living room with brand new carpet and padding (August 2026), freshly painted walls and highlighted by a natural, handpicked river rock gas fireplace with new Chimney (2023) and hand wrought iron screen. Notice right by the kitchen, a cozy alcove for a game table or reading and then, a bar and stool area for breakfast or a quick meal. Then, you will see a full-size dining area for formal or casual eating. The galley-style kitchen has custom oak cabinets and crown moulding, stainless steel appliances, and low-maintenance formica countertops. Access the hand-laid brick patio directly from the kitchen. There is a space-saving stacked washer and dryer near the kitchen and the utility room has a modern, tankless water heater (2017), and high efficiency furnace and A/C (both 2020). Now, walk down the hallway to the hard to find, FIRST FLOOR PRIMARY BEDROOM AND FULL LUXURY BATH. Another FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM, which would make a great home office too, is nearby and both rooms have sliding glass doors leading to the spacious wood deck with custom wrought iron spindles, three of them depicting natures scenes of woods and stream. The second floor has so much extra space, you will be amazed! 3 bedrooms, all oversized with ample closets and 2 full baths, one of them has heated floors. One of these upstairs bedrooms is a suite and can also be the PRIMARY bedroom as it has its own private full bath with soaker tub. Enjoy an extra open elevated "loft" space for reading and relaxing. You will be impressed with the attic storage space, perfect for storing holiday decorations, suitcases and more. Take notice of the 5 stunning, stained glass windows; custom-designed for this home. And now...a premier feature of this property...prepare to be WOWED by the huge, heated, separately powered, outbuilding in the rear of the property that is large enough to hold 8 cars on the bottom level and has a sizable raised loft area perfect for recreation, storage, or additional working area. Easily accessible with a packed gravel driveway from the house and with 2 - 10ft high, oversized overhead doors, this structure was used by an auto enthusiast, but there are so many other possibilities for use such as boat storage, hobbies, art studio, or woodworking shop. The home has an attached 2 car garage with extended curved asphalt driveway, once again bringing the total of potential indoor parking spaces up to 10! A whole property 22kw Generac generator (2022) with transferable warranty until 2027 will give you peace of mind. (NOTE: a heavy duty car lift with 10,000 pound capability and a large compressor remain on the property and are negotiable with the sale.) Route 31 is less than a mile drive and Dining and shopping is within 4 miles, at Route 31 and Route 14. Enjoy nature at Sterne's Woods, right across Hillside Rd. Where else, this close to town and amenities, will you find all of this on one property? Don't miss out!
