LARGER THAN IT APPEARS - DOUBLE LOT - FINISHED BASEMENT - This charming 3 (possibly 4) bedroom 2.5 bath home boasts over 2,000 sq ft of finished living space; including a finished basement. Great location in town Crete on a quiet street with no traffic, perched on a hill with views of rolling farm fields. The double lot (2 pins) provides a spacious yard w/ storage shed, plus a large carport AND a 1 car garage, so 2 cars can be covered & out of the elements!

Eat-in kitchen features oak cabinets, custom tile flooring & backsplash; all appliances stay. Head upstairs to the oversized primary bedroom with skylight! FULL 2nd bathroom upstairs with shower PLUS a DEN (which could easily be used as a 4th bedroom or office if needed). BONUS storage room above garage plus attic storage that runs the length of the home. Don't forget the HUGE FAMILY ROOM in the finished basement with half bath (there's a bathroom on all 3 levels!). Mostly updated vinyl clad windows throughout; main roof & AC less than 2 yrs old. Don't let this affordable beauty pass you by!
