About This Home

Well-maintained ranch home offering approximately 1,975 square feet of living space on a corner lot in an established Sycamore neighborhood. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features a spacious and functional floor plan with a large living room, separate family room with a fireplace, and a generously sized kitchen with adjoining dining area. Hardwood flooring can be found in the bedrooms, while abundant closet space and built-in storage throughout reflect the quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design of its era. The family room is a standout feature, providing a comfortable gathering space for entertaining, movie nights, or relaxing by the fireplace. The full basement offers excellent storage and presents an opportunity for future finishing to create additional living space, a recreation room, home office, or hobby area. The home has been maintained and includes replacement windows (2015), updated mechanicals (2 Air Handlers 2019), radon mitigation (2021), roof (2018) and a solar panel system (2021) designed to help reduce utility costs. A heated 2-car attached garage adds convenience year-round. Outside, the spacious corner lot offers mature landscaping, patio space for outdoor enjoyment, and plenty of room for gardening, pets, play, or entertaining. The generous yard provides a setting that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in many newer neighborhoods. This home offers the opportunity to move in and enjoy it today while updating and personalizing it over time. Conveniently located near downtown Sycamore, schools, parks, shopping, and restaurants, this property combines space, comfort, and long-term potential in one of Sycamore's established neighborhoods.
