Designed by the current owner and built in 1987, this sweet split-level home is the definition of convenience combined with comfort. Situated on a .79-acre double lot on the outskirts of Barton Village, most everything you need is within a 2-minute drive, from the drugstore and supermarket to the post office, hardware store, school, and library. In addition, you’re just .6 mile from Crystal Lake State Park and beach. You’ll love the cathedral ceiling, skylights, light laminate flooring, and abundance of windows that make the open plan kitchen, dining, and living room feel bright and airy. There’s also a 6’ glass door that leads out to the back deck. The three bedrooms are just a few steps up on the second level, and the spacious primary bedroom has two closets. The full bath offers an extra-long vanity and includes a laundry area, so you won’t have to go up and down stairs on laundry day. The partially finished lower level includes is currently set up as a den, and it would also make a great game room, home gym, or craft space. Having the garage right off from the main level means you won’t have to clear snow off your vehicle this winter. New kitchen counters are being installed soon, and a new oil boiler was installed in 2022. Outside there is plenty of great lawn space for pets, kids, and gardening, plus a small shed to hold all your gardening tools. VAST and VASA trails are both close by and Barton Residents enjoy free access to Crystal Lake from Pageant Park!
