About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 403 W Second Street - a charming ranch-style home set on a sprawling 0.73-acre lot filled with mature trees, open green space, and a partially fenced area. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home radiates vintage charm, featuring hardwood floors, arched doorways, built-in shelving, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Oversized windows invite in beautiful natural light and frame views of the expansive yard. The primary bedroom is generously sized with two separate closets, abundant sunlight, and original hardwood flooring. The second bedroom offers a peaceful view of the backyard and is equally warm and welcoming. The kitchen retains its retro personality and flows into a formal dining space, creating a practical layout with great potential. A glass sliding door connects the dining area to a large deck - the perfect place to relax or entertain while soaking in the outdoors. Downstairs, the full basement is already framed and plumbed for a second bathroom, providing a blank canvas to create a family room, office, gym, or guest suite. With easy access to Route 90, your commute could be readily accessible. Enjoy the benefits of small-town living with proximity to downtown Genoa, parks, schools, and the Kishwaukee River. Priced with potential in mind, this home is ready for a new owner to complete the vision. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or looking for an investment project, 403 W Second Street is your opportunity to create your space with a bit of sweat equity.
