About This Home

As of November 2025

You'll love the bright, airy feel of this charming ranch! Vaulted ceilings and sunlit rooms create an inviting sense of space from the moment you step inside. This home has been beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated over the past three years, featuring fresh paint throughout; new flooring in the kitchen, entries, and bathrooms; several sleek black stainless steel appliances; and a new water heater, water softener, washer, and dryer. Downstairs, the finished basement nearly doubles your living space-perfect for a family room, home office, fitness area, or guest suite. Outside, your own private retreat awaits! Enjoy a spacious deck overlooking a serene, tree-lined backyard. The yard is fully enclosed with a 6' cedar privacy fence, ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or letting pets roam freely. Tucked in a quiet neighborhood near schools, parks, shopping, NIU, and more, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm.
