SPREAD OUT in this sprawling ranch on 1 FULL ACRE with 18x36' HEATED INGROUND POOL in unincorporated Crete! Meticulously well maintained, long time owners hate to leave this 3 BR 2 bath ranch w/ partially finished basement. If you're seeking privacy, mature trees, a HUGE yard, room for bonfires & chickens, and you like to lounge pool side in the summer, this home is for you! FAMILY ROOM ADDITION was built onto the rear of the home in 2001 & walls were removed for an "open concept" layout, featuring TWO gas log fireplaces & a spacious kitchen/dining space that was meant for entertaining! Basement is partially finished, with plenty of room for storage. Featuring a brand NEW ROOF w/ 50 yr warranty (2022), new furnace (2022) and AC (2019); all the big ticket items have already been replaced! Pool is HEATED & fenced, with newer concrete patio, newer vinyl liner (2017) and safety cover (2021). Oversized shed even has a concrete floor & electrical; would make a great workshop! Windows & siding have also been replaced when addition was built. Even the driveway has been redone (2016). Enjoy the best that country living has to offer, and yet enjoy the convenience of being just 35 miles south of Chicago.
