Well-loved LARGE ranch home in The Gates only 1 block to Crystal Lake Main Beach or The Dole Mansion with all the happenings going on there. Take a short stroll to the Sunday's Farmer's Market and enjoy mingling with neighbors as you listen to the live music. Now let's talk about the inside of this great home: 2400+ square feet with the popular open floor plan and large rooms ; the bedroom "wing" has a huge master bedroom with a wall of closets and an ensuite bath, 3 other bedrooms plus a small office ; the huge living room with stone woodburning fireplace and the dining room flow easily from either the bedrooms or the family room ; the eat-in kitchen has lots of cabinets and plenty of space for a center island ; the washer & dryer are conveniently located right off of the kitchen. The openness of this home makes living here so easy! Now going back outside: the 30x35 patio is partially covered and would be easy to finish into a screened porch. If you're willing to make some updates here, you'll have a true gem because there aren't many ranches of this size in this highly desirable neighborhood!
