About This Home

As of December 2020

This lovely location in the country has a backdrop of mature trees, open ground, and hills. Don't be surprised if you see deer and other wildlife early in the morning and later in the evening! This home has been totally updated this summer. The entire interior was freshly painted in warm, inviting colors and new flooring in all but one room. The double-sided wood-burning fireplace can be enjoyed in the living room or the master bedroom! MBR also has a gorgeous vaulted, wood and beamed ceiling, updated full bath, tub/shower combination, and a walk-in closet. Oversized family room (also with a beamed wood ceiling) overlooks the rolling backyard, with new patio doors that open to a big, freshly rehabbed and painted deck. There are 2 more bedrooms; one has a small walk-in closet with additional built-ins and the other has an entire wall of closets with built-in drawers. The second bath has a shower only. A total refresh in the kitchen has the cabinetry painted white, updated countertop, and flooring. Kitchen and bathrooms all have new, waterproof vinyl, wood-look floors. Kitchen has an area for a small cafe table and the dining room with original hardwood floor in right around the corner. Laundry is on the main floor. Refrigerator, range, washer, dryer included. If you like to spend time outdoors, the covered/screened patio is where you will spend your time! With unobstructed views, it is peaceful, restful, and charming. The 1.5 car garage has a new coat of paint and there's also a nice storage shed with roll-up door. House, garage, and patio roofs were all newly-shingled in August of 2020! Hot water and electric heat in the house. NICOR gas and AMEREN electric is an added surprise to this rural property! Outside city limits, you will have your own private well and septic. Absolutely move-in condition. Call today!
