About This Home

Home and 40' x 64' machine shed located on quiet county road just minutes from shopping, dining, and medical services. This 2-acre property in unincorporated Sycamore is zoned Ag-1 allowing for homesteading uses such as livestock, farm stands, additional buildings and other agricultural and equestrian activities allowed under DeKalb County Code. The 1152 SF 2 bed 1 bath farmhouse has been well-maintained and is ready for its new owner. The 14' x 15' eat in kitchen features loads of natural light, tile floors, and a country view that stretches for miles. A sliding glass door opens to a 14.5' x 14.5' deck that is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee while watching the sun rise over the countryside. A spacious 14' x 18' living room is at the heart of the home and a full bath and 2 bedrooms round out the remaining main level. A full unfinished basement houses the mechanicals and provides ample storage. If more storage is desired the 40' x 62' machine shed with 12' high and 16' wide doors should have you covered for everything from campers to cars and everything in between. The building has water to the East side as well as electric and an insulated ceiling. If your vision for this property requires more space than the 2-acres included in the listing more acreage is available for an additional price as this is being separated from a 120-acre parcel. Don't miss this opportunity to secure the rural lifestyle this property can provide just 5 minutes from the hustle of town.
