1302 Hillcrest St Normal, IL 61761

What a rare opportunity to own a fabulous house, on a spectacular lot, in an amazing location! A huge yard backing to Constitution Trail with direct access to walking, biking or running and just minutes from Uptown Normal makes this a highly desired property. You won't believe the beauty of this private setting! This lot that is more than 200' deep is beautifully landscaped with native perennial plantings (some beds have drip irrigation) and many trees. The current owners removed at-risk trees and planted many new ones. You will feel like you are in the woods but with the convenience of city living. The house is awesome too! Amazing charm, character and condition greet you from the moment you step through the front door. Original hardwood floors have been refinished throughout. The living room has a wonderful bay window and a beautiful fireplace. Current owners were able to raise the ceiling and install can lighting in this area. French doors in the dining room lead out to paver patios. The second-floor bath has been beautifully remodeled. You will appreciate the wonderful window in the stairway on the second floor as well as that spacious owner bedroom with great closet space. Few houses from this era have such nicely finished basements. Additional rooms on this level include a second full bath, a family room with projector and bookcases, and an office or exercise room. Move in with great peace of mind... HVAC new in 2025, water heater 2019, 40-year roof installed about 2012, fireplace was redone for safety and the owners enjoy using regularly! Easy access to Connie Link Amphitheater, ISU, Keg Grove, IWU and more.
