FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ON VACATION EVERYDAY!! Being in this wonderful custom LOG HOME feels like you're in the mountains; yet you're only minutes from charming downtown Crystal Lake and the Metra station. After you see the cool green roof and gutters, you'll notice the inviting wrap-around front porch with 2 person swing (perfect place to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee). Then come on through the front door and be wowed by the gorgeous soaring 2-sided stone fireplace in the two story greatroom with a full wall of windows, multiple skylights and sparkling hardwood floors. This room is truly the heart of the home so you'll hate to leave it, but there's so much more to see: a first floor master suite w doors to the covered deck (perfect place to watch the stars at night or put a hot tub), bay window for watching the deer feeding and private entrance to the office (so you can just roll out of bed and go to work). Now on the other side of that stunning stone fireplace is the kitchen w island and another fireplace (can't you just imagine cooking with a fire crackling in the fireplace ?!). When it's finally time to eat, you can take your pick of the place to sit - either the breakfast room with vaulted ceiling & skylight or the cozy dining room (both open into the kitchen). This might be a good time to go out onto the back deck that expands across the entire back of the house. Not only will you love watching the sunset from here but you'll fall in love with the custom made woodland scene railing. The oversized 3 car garage is a dream! And we haven't even talked about the walkout lower level or the second floor w loft and 2 large bedrooms (both w walk-in closets and vaulted ceilings). Finish the lower level to fit your lifestyle -- 9 ft ceilings, 3rd fireplace, in-floor heat , tons of windows and plumbing for a huge full bathroom or sauna. Top quality craftsmanship and impeccably maintained. Great as your full time residence or as your home away from home! THIS HOME IS AMAZING INSIDE AND OUT! **Be sure to watch the walking video of this home - click on the "virtual tour" link!**
