About This Home
Welcome home to this beautifully updated 3-bed, 2-bath charmer in Herrin with more than 2,000 sq ft of modern comfort and thoughtful improvements at every turn! From fresh paint throughout to new systems, this home is truly move-in ready. The open floor plan creates an inviting flow between the spacious living area and the kitchen—complete with stainless steel appliances (2024), a pantry, and rich knotty-pine accents that bring warmth and character. The primary suite features a tiled walk-in shower and all-new fixtures, while the additional bedrooms showcase gorgeous original hardwood floors. Behind the scenes, major upgrades provide peace of mind: new plumbing lines all the way to the alley, a new sump pump, HVAC (2022), water heater (2021), and an attic fan (2024). Solar panels—installed in 2024 and just $220/month—mean the sellers haven’t had an electric bill since June! The home is also under contract with Egyptian Pest Control for continued protection. Outside, enjoy your fenced backyard oasis with an above-ground pool (2023), storage shed, and deck access from the French doors—plus the seller is leaving a ramp if preferred. The attached garage includes a built-in storage closet and even wiring for a tanning bed. With updates inside and out, energy savings already built in, and a layout perfect for both relaxing and entertaining, this Herrin home offers exceptional value and charm in one package. Schedule your showing today—this one checks every box!
