About This Home

As of June 2019

In-town, meticulously maintained brick and stone ranch is surprisingly larger than it appears! With 1488sf above grade the floorplan lives perfectly. With gleaming hardwood floors thruout most of main floor, the living spaces are towards the front of the house with bedrooms in the rear. A woodburning fireplace anchors the living and dining rooms while the adjacent kitchen is a great space to work with if you have renovation ideas. The kitchen opens to the family room which leads to the lovely fenced yard with deck and storage shed. The basement is partially finished with a full bath and rec area, large laundry room with cedar closet; the unfinished space is awesome for storage or future finishing. 1/2 mile to train and town and blocks to Hawthorne Elementary, Wilder Park and Prairie Path!
