Built in 1903...this adorable 1.5 story farmhouse on 1.6 acres has been loved, enjoyed and extremely well maintained by the same family for the past 25 years...Pride of ownership is hard to miss! Owners have invested over 75K in updates & improvements in recent years! Light, bright, happy home with lots of windows and a very functional floor plan. Offering over 1700 finished living space, plus a (24x30)outbuilding, a (12x16)garden shed and a cutie pie matching mini playhouse.

Entertain friends with a band set up on the large (25x30) concrete patio. (no neighbors to complain about the noise!) Gather with the family sitting around the campfire on the beautiful brick patio... Charming solid wood ceiling beams and gorgeous hardwood flooring. Light, bright, happy home with lots of windows and a very efficient, good use of space. Picture perfect and peaceful setting with completely surrounded with wide open views in all directions! (see drone pics!) It's like going back in time...even has an old-fashioned clothes line and a tire tree swing! Plenty of room to roam with a big fenced in area out back, a large concrete patio behind the outbuilding, lots of mature trees and still plenty of open grassy/garden space. Conveniently located only a mile off of highway 130. Enjoy this beautiful rural location, while being only a few minutes from Villa Grove for stores and restaurants.
