Discover this charming 1939 brick Cape Cod, featuring a climate-controlled, two-story garage with a dedicated upstairs engine shop, situated on over half an acre in Crete, Illinois. Beautifully landscaped grounds, mature gardens, a picturesque pond and waterfall create a peaceful backyard retreat, with gardens once featured on the Crete Woman's Club Garden Walk. For automotive enthusiasts, collectors, hobbyists or anyone dreaming of their own workshop, the extraordinary garage is a standout feature!

The beautifully updated kitchen features custom white cabinetry and granite countertops and opens to a light-filled sunroom overlooking the grounds. Added in 2020, the second-level primary suite offers a spacious walk-in shower, walk-in cedar closet and private deck. A main-level bedroom and bath provide convenient one-floor living options, while additional bonus rooms on the main level and in the updated basement offer flexible space for a home office, hobbies, guests or recreation.
