Beautiful, well maintained ranch home on 2 acres, backing to a picturesque wooded ravine. The park-like setting of this home offers absolute privacy, yet is just 5 miles from the heart of Crystal Lake or downtown Cary. Adjacent to the home is the MCCD Silver Creek Conservation Area and Prairie View Environmental Education Center, offering 840 acres of nature, and the opportunity to hike, X-country ski, fish, picnic, and relax. This 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home has 1,450 sf on the main level, plus a full partially finished basement. The 2.5 car garage is extra wide, and offers an adjoining 'workshop area' or storage space. There is also a cute wooden shed just off the driveway, for easy storage of your 'toys' or lawn equipment. The backyard is partially fenced, making it the perfect place for pets or young kids to play. The sizable kitchen has SS appliances, hardwood flooring, and a generously-sized eat-in area. The cozy living area has a masonry gas fireplace, and overlooks the backyard with incredible views. The home's exterior was recently painted, and interior is being painted freshly right now. Partially finished basement has a wet bar and 1/2 bathroom. Laundry is currently located in the basement, but there are hook-ups for laundry in the 1st floor mudroom. This hidden gem won't last long!!! *Contact your agent to schedule a showing* Full interior photos will be available online on 10/19.*
