3 Bedroom Home For Sale in Crete, IL

3 / 2, Single-Family Home in Crete, IL

CURRENTLY REHABBING. ATTENTION INVESTORS, BUILDERS OR REHABBERS. Rarely available 3 and a half acre sprawling estate in Crete! This private and serene wooded lot gently tucked away at 3439 West 87th Street, comes with a private pond and a newly renovated well water system. The back of the lot adjoins the forest preserves, so there will be no new construction anywhere near your property for many years to come. The home that sits on this oversized lot has had a lot of work done to it, but still has room for your ideas to finish it off. The roof is new, and a great portion of the interior has been gutted. There are not many finishes yet, so this gives you room for creativity and personal touches. Then again, you may wish to tear the whole home down and put up a new one. The choice is yours, as the enormous lot will accommodate even the largest of homes with ease. The nicely wooded and landscaped lot is very appealing and relaxing. You will spend many quiet days relaxing on your porch enjoying nature, or fishing out of your stocked pond. Of course, there is a much larger pond right down the street as well if you prefer to go ice skating in the winter months! The property is probably large enough for a couple of horses as well. There are some old horse stalls near the garage, which probably means a previous owner had a few of their own horses here in the past. The garage is magnificent. It is a 2 and a half car garage complete with an interior fireplace! It is complete with a large workshop and is ideal for many projects. It even includes a hard wired chain lift for lifting car engines and doing some mechanical work as well. It is a true workmans dream garage and will soon feature a new roof and door as well. The home has two corner sliding doors from the dining area that face the garage, giving you a great backyard view from the living and dining rooms. The bedrooms are generously sized and all feature cedar lined closets. This split level home also offers a partial basement underneath the large living room, so there is plenty of storage space in this abode as well. The main benefit here is the acreage. If you look at what other homes are available in the area, you will notice that the great majority of them only offer you a quarter or half acre lot for roughly the same amount of money. So, would you rather buy a slightly more finished home on one sixth of the lot size, or this enormous acreage and do a little work to finish the home yourself? You can always update a home, but you cannot make the lot any bigger after you buy it! You are always better off when you buy the larger parcel of land, so come out here and take a look at this magnificent opportunity before it is too late. This place will sell quickly! It is also very conveniently located near 87th and Sheffield, near Route 30, and only blocks from the Indiana border. There are significant tax advantages for shopping and gas right across the border, so you can enjoy many cost savings there as well. Take advantage of the buyers market and pick up this fantastic opportunity to own a very large parcel of land at a fraction of what it will cost in just a few years. You will enjoy boundless appreciation over the years, as well as the luxury of living here in the meantime and enjoying all the wonderful amenities that a parcel like this has to offer you!
