About This Home
As of September 2025Escape to 2.5 acres of peace, privacy, and charm-just minutes from Reed-Custer schools in Braidwood. This beautifully renovated home blends modern upgrades with the warmth of country living. Step inside and you'll find an inviting open-concept design with an on trend kitchen featuring quartz countertops, rich wood flooring, and a custom barn door leading to the laundry room. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a spacious master suite with a walk-in closet, dual sinks, and a walk-in shower, you'll have both comfort and style. The finished large attic storage room offers room to grow-finish it for an office, hobby space, or guest retreat. Cozy up by the fireplace on chilly evenings or sip your morning coffee on the walk-out deck while overlooking your fenced backyard. There's room for gardens, pets, and play, plus an attached heated 2.5 car garage and storage shed. Whether you're hosting summer cookouts, watching sunsets, or stargazing at night, this is the country lifestyle you've been dreaming of-without giving up the convenience of being close to town.
