Welcome to 3708 Cooper Place, where mornings overlooking the pond, afternoons in the garden, and quiet evenings on the deck can become part of everyday life. Tucked within Crete's desirable Lincolnshire Estates, this truly one-of-a-kind home sits on over half an acre of beautiful grounds previously featured on the Crete Woman's Club Garden Walk. From the moment you arrive, you will understand why. Mature landscaping, gorgeous gardens, a picturesque pond and waterfall create a backyard setting that feels like your own private retreat. Inside, more than 3,600 square feet offers character, flexibility, and plenty of room to live, gather, work, and unwind. Vintage crystal glass doorknobs add a touch of history, while the updated kitchen features custom white cabinetry and granite countertops. Just beyond, the light-filled sunroom provides the perfect place for morning coffee while taking in views of the stunning backyard and pond. The home offers 3 bedrooms PLUS multiple flexible spaces that could accommodate a home office, hobby room, additional sleeping space, or whatever fits your lifestyle. There's even an additional bonus room in the basement! Added in 2020, the spacious second-level primary suite feels like its own private getaway, featuring a large walk-in shower, walk-in cedar closet, beautiful backyard views, and a private deck overlooking the gardens and tranquil pond. A main-level bedroom with direct patio access, along with a three-quarter bath, adds even more flexibility to the floor plan. AND THEN, there's the workspace! The IMPRESSIVE two-story workman's garage and adjoining work areas offer exceptional room for the car enthusiast, craftsman, collector, hobbyist, or anyone who has dreamed of having serious space for projects at home. The garage/workspace even has its own heat and air conditioning, along with a sink and additional conveniences. Major improvements include a 2018 roof with 40-year shingles, two furnaces, updated central air systems, and a boiler serviced in 2021. Water is approximately $500 per year with no monthly water bill. Here, weekends do not have to take you far from home. Enjoy your own backyard oasis, explore nearby golf and country club amenities, or simply relax among the gardens and sounds of the pond's waterfall. When you do want to venture out, convenient access to I-394 keeps everything within reach. This is a home with history, personality, space, and a setting that simply cannot be recreated. Come walk the gardens, stand beside the pond, step onto the private deck, and imagine what life could look like here.
