About This Home

As of March 2023

This beautiful house was just completely remodeled from the studs up with excellent quality and gorgeous taste. You won't find another house quite like this in downtown Genoa. It's a must see. All on one property, the main house has three bedrooms and two baths alongside the enormous 3-car garage that has a coach house above with an additional living room, kitchen, bedroom and bath. Mostly fenced, the yard has good privacy and backs up to an alley. Not only are all rooms remodeled, but plumbing, electrical, roof, siding, windows, HVAC and water heater are all brand new. The kitchen is outstanding. Entirely rebuilt from scratch, this kitchen has beautiful granite counter tops, soft close cabinets/drawers, and new appliances. Artfully imbedded in the ceiling are antique beams removed from a barn to give a gorgeous finishing touch. The laundry room nook is located in the kitchen as well, for easy access while cooking. On the main floor, the master bedroom has an updated Jack and Jill bath, shared with the first floor and a generous sized walk-in closet. The family room, located in the front of the house is light filled, with southern exposure and is prepared to hide wires in the wall to a side nook for your entertainment or gaming system. The second floor has an updated bath and two bedrooms with new carpeting. The basement (accessed from the exterior of the house) has all new mechanicals and the floor is newly tiled. From the kitchen you can walk out back onto the nice new deck, where you can grill and host gatherings. From the deck you will see the spacious garage that has 832 approximate square feet of garage space and the coach house on the second floor. The garage is heated with a gas heater and is prepped for radiant heat. It also has high ceilings, which provides plenty of space if you want to store a large RV, boat, vehicle or install a lift to work on cars. Upstairs from the garage, the spacious coach house has been completely updated as well. Improvements include a new bathroom with shower, all new windows and a kitchen with newer granite countertops and plenty of cabinets for storage. The location of the house is a dream. Just a few blocks from downtown, you can walk to several different dining options, the library, community gatherings and the park district pool, grounds and exercise facilities. You will certainly want to see this house! It's a perfect spot to be part of the Genoa community and an amazing home to live in and enjoy thoroughly with no work required. Just move in and enjoy. (Extra perks for car enthusiasts and/or mechanics).
