About This Home

As of June 2024

So much to love about 4 University Court! So many updates around this property over the last few years, both inside and out! Wonderful 3 BR, 2 1/2 bath with its own oasis in the backyard surrounded by a 6' vinyl privacy fence! You can make use of the 54" deep swimming pool with a natural gas heater to keep the water warm late into the swimming season (and a brand-new liner was installed in the spring of 2024)! There are two brick patios, one located under a steel frame gazebo, and one tucked in behind the garage with a sunshade sail above. Lots of perennial flowers for fresh blooms every spring and summer to create that feeling of being in a little tropical paradise throughout the summer. Three storage sheds are also in the backyard for pool supplies, yard equipment, and the third one that served as a "she shed" the last few years with a TV mount so you can enjoy your favorite shows right under the gazebo. Inside you will find custom cherry wood cabinets in the kitchen with upper cabinets going all the way to the ceiling height for additional storage. A lazy Suzan is available in the lower corner cabinet to make for easy access to items stored there and the pots and pans can be kept in the cabinet with slide out shelving so there is no fighting to get to the pan you want. The kitchen also boasts Bruce brand hardwood floors that were installed during the remodel work. The rest of the house still has beautiful original hardwood floors throughout the main floor. The kitchen, living room, and the two bedrooms on the main floor all have ceiling fans to provide additional comfort during the summer months. The fans were replaced in 2023 in bedroom 1, the living room, and the kitchen. The full bath on the main floor has a new light/fan/blue tooth speaker combo unit installed in March of this year. Upstairs you will find the crown jewel of the house, a master suite and full bath finished in 2021. This area features a double shower, lighted and heated mirror, and an instant water heater providing limitless hot water for those long showers. Another ceiling fan can be found up there as well, along with plenty of additional attic storage space on both sides of the suite area. During the remodel, foam insulation was used in the walls and ceiling of the converted attic space to provide superior protection from the weather outside. Travel down to the partially finished basement to find additional storage, the washer, and the dryer (both electric and gas dryer connection options!), another half bath with a utility sink, and you will find an area that can be used as an additional family room or home theater set up! There is also a one car garage with a covered breezeway connecting it to the house. The property is also close to uptown Normal for shopping and dining. Additional features: new shingles on the house and garage in fall of 2023, gas water heater new in 2020, gas furnace serviced every 6 months for the last decade by Bratcher Heating and Air, central A/C, replacement double hung windows throughout house, partially turfed backyard, all appliances stay with the house including the gas range new in 2022, master suite bedroom furniture can also stay with the house (king size bed frame, no mattress included), all window blinds included, Nest brand smart thermostat.
