About This Home

As of April 2016

Transferred owners hate to leave this center of town 2-story. Freshly painted interior and tastefully decorated throughout, this home checks all the boxes - 4 beds up, master suite, eat-in kitchen open to 2-story family room with brick fireplace, 1st floor office or 5th bed for in-law arrangement, 1st floor full bath, separate formals, 2 car attached garage, and huge fenced yard with storage shed. Many owner updates - furnace, humidifier, & oven (2016), AC, sump pump, upstairs carpet, & washer/dryer (2013), and more. Walk to town and train location with sought after Hawthorne Elementary & Sandburg Middle Schools. Meticulously maintained and ready for new owners to call home.
