Step into the warmth and character of this farmhouse-style home located in the heart of Harvard. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the professional landscaping, oversized two-car garage, and inviting front porch that welcomes you inside. This home offers the kind of flexible living space that's hard to find-perfect for anyone who needs room to spread out, work from home, or entertain. The main level features a bright and airy living room, a cozy sitting room that's ideal for relaxing or a reading nook, and a vintage 1950s kitchen with space for your personal touch. Two bedrooms are located on the main floor, including one currently set up as a home office-perfect for today's lifestyle. The lower level expands the possibilities with a third bedroom, a large open space that could easily serve as a family room, game room, or hobby area, plus an additional bonus room ideal for an office, workout space, or guest area. When it's time to enjoy the outdoors, the spacious private deck is perfect for entertaining, relaxing with morning coffee, or hosting summer barbecues. The new siding, newer roof on both the house and garage, and a newer hot water heater provide peace of mind, making this home move-in ready. All of this is set on a large in-town lot just minutes from the Metra for easy commuting, local schools, parks, and shopping, with quick access to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, where you can enjoy lakes, beaches, waterfront dining, and shopping year-round. Whether you're looking for a place to settle down, grow into, or work from home while staying connected to outdoor recreation and community, this updated farmhouse offers the perfect combination of space, charm, and modern convenience.
