901 Sarasota LnCrystal Lake, IL 60014

Welcome to 901 Sarasota Lane, a beautifully updated home in Crystal Lake’s sought-after Four Colonies neighborhood, offering the rare combination of thoughtful updates, generous living space, and an incredible backyard setting directly adjacent to a 20-acre city park with a stocked pond and playground.

Inside, the home has been refreshed throughout with fresh paint, new overhead lighting, and ceiling fans in all four bedrooms and the living room. The kitchen features warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and newer stainless appliances, including a new refrigerator and dishwasher. The spacious primary suite offers a private bathroom and walk-in closet, while the recently remodeled primary bath features an oversized soaking tub.

The finished living space continues downstairs, where the basement has been brought to drywall and is ready for its final touches. With space for a recreation room, bedroom, storage, laundry area, and a full bathroom already in place, the lower level offers tremendous potential for additional living space and future equity.

Step outside and the backyard truly sets this property apart. The original deck was completely replaced with a massive 330+ sq. ft. Trex deck, complete with overhead shade sails—an ideal space for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying summer evenings overlooking the park. With no homes directly behind you, the backyard opens naturally onto the expansive green space of the park. The stocked pond is visible from the deck, while the playground sits just around the corner, out of sight from the home.

Major mechanical and efficiency updates provide additional peace of mind, including a new furnace and air conditioner (2024), new roof (2022), newer tankless gas water heater, and solar panels installed in 2024.

Located in a desirable Crystal Lake neighborhood and just minutes from the Metra station, shopping, dining, parks, and everyday conveniences, this home offers the space and updates you want with a backyard setting that is exceptionally difficult to replicate.

The combination of location, substantial recent improvements, and direct access to 20 acres of parkland makes this one you won't want to miss.

Practical matters, we are not using a realtor. And we will ask for a pre-approval letter before we show it as we still live here and we don't want to just be tour guides haha
