About This Home

As of September 2019

Charming updated 2 bed 1.5 bath home on over 1/2 acre lot. And a den/office for those who work from Home. Privacy, charm, character. Country living but yet so close to everything. Beautiful trim work and original doors throughout the home. Lots of updates including: new roof, new windows, refinished hardwood flooring, some newer appliances, water heater, new insulation. The full, dry basement has some newer windows, a shower area and washer/dryer and great storage areas. New concrete sidewalks around the home. Carport even has electric to it as well. The barn has electric and a loft area for storage. There is room in the barn for your chickens! Home is very close to the Duneland Prairie Trail. Not far from town and just a couple minutes from I 94 and the toll road for an easy commute. Great private location.
