About This Home

Welcome home to this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath dollhouse nestled in a quiet, established DeKalb neighborhood. Designed for comfort and convenience, the home offers a desirable first-floor bedroom and full bath, while the second full bath has been beautifully renovated down to the studs. The inviting eat-in kitchen flows into a cozy four-season sunroom featuring a classic Ben Franklin stove-the perfect place to relax year-round. Additional living space awaits in the partially finished basement, while outside you'll find a detached 2-car garage. Ideally located directly across from the elementary school and just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and events of downtown DeKalb, this sweet home combines timeless charm with everyday practicality.
