Lazy Willow is one of the luxury properties for sale in Crystal Lake, Illinois, and it’s a place that comes with a wealth of history to go along with its natural beauty.

This 5400 square foot home sits on the site of the property’s original log cabin residence. The original old cabin (built by a Chicago architect in 1930) was torn down and the new home was rebuilt on the cabin’s footprint in 1998. This opulent home (which is also used as a Christian day retreat center) sits midway up a 80 foot hill, with a spectacular view of the surrounding yard. The 14.6 acre woods around the home were once used as a private hunting ground.

The main house at Lazy Willow is beautifully designed with a French country interior and a brick exterior. The overall feel is of a country chalet surrounded by incredible waterfalls, ponds and views. The pool house, which is near the beach, was originally the bedroom of the old log cabin. The residence’s main outbuilding was rebuilt in 2004, and today is an elegant country meeting room and bunk room. It’s a 1600 square foot space, and below it, downstairs, is a 1600 square foot shop.

The lush areas surrounding the property at www.lazywillow.com are perfect for relaxing or for enjoying outdoor sports or recreation. The home is located one quarter mile off the road and it has a private 14 car parking area. A 400 foot long creek runs nearby, and two large decks sit inside two sparkling waterfalls, to create a unique outdoor experience.

This amazing residence with its spectacular outdoor surroundings has hosted over 7,000 people at church, youth and elder retreats. The five beautifully appointed bedroom suites here, which glow with natural wood floors and finishes, make it an opulent setting for a private getaway or meeting center. Come pay a visit to www.lazywillow.com and see how beautiful a home can be.

Homeowners Use Remodeling to Enhance Market Value

People looking to sell their homes have to consider the value arc of their property. In many cases, these individuals will want their property to be at peak value when buyers are coming by to make an offer. This does not just happen, though. It happens only when there is a dedicated, specific effort by the homeowner to enhance the property’s value. Some are getting free remodeling quotes today to help improve the value of their home. They are seeking out a good contractor to make changes that will catch the eyes of interested buyers.

It is an old real estate truism that every house should have at least one memorable room. When a person leaves the home and gets in the car, they should be left speaking about the beauty of the bathroom or the functionality of the kitchen. They need to fall in love with the breakfast room or start an affair with the new man cave. Whatever it is about your house that will make a person fall in love, you need to have something that pops. Many have figured that out, and it’s why they have sought the assistance of great remodeling professionals.

Many are using remodeling to bring their home into the modern realm. Today’s buyers are interested in various types of add-ons that make the home more functional. For instance, does the home have two refrigerators? Does it have modern energy features that will save money over the long run? What about the flooring? Is it the sort of home that has 1980s floors or has it been upgraded with great wooden floors? These are the important questions that help determine whether the home is up to the modern buyer’s tastes. Remodeling jobs can help ensure that the must-have features in a home are there in order to generate the greatest amount of interest.

At the end of the day, remodeling jobs can provide excellent value for a home. If one could make $10,000 of renovations and add $12,500 to the home, then that would be a good investment. Not only would that person be able to enjoy the functionality of the new home for a while, but that person would also enjoy the benefits of better home value. This is the movement in the market today, and homeowners are figuring out what they have to do.
