About This Home

Lakefront Living on Crystal Lake! Welcome to 12 Private Grounds. This exceptional waterfront property has a little over 60 feet of direct waterfront and a private dock, making it easy to embrace the lake lifestyle from your own backyard. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the water, setting out for an afternoon boat ride, or relaxing by the shoreline at sunset, every day feels like a vacation. Spanning approximately 200 acres, Crystal Lake is known for its clear water and year-round outdoor enjoyment. Boating, water skiing, tubing, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, or fishing-are all just steps from your door. Inside, the home features a generous sized kitchen with plenty of cabinets for storage, a spacious dining room area, and a comfortable living room that leads out to the expansive screened-in porch with panoramic lake views. Two bedrooms are connected by an updated Jack and Jill bathroom and include a walk-in closet, while the third bedroom is served by an additional full bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. The detached two-car garage provides valuable storage for vehicles, water toys, and outdoor equipment-a rare and highly desirable feature for lakefront properties. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence or the ultimate weekend retreat, 12 Private Grounds offers a unique opportunity to own a slice of Crystal Lake paradise and enjoy the best of waterfront living.
