About This Home

As of July 2021

A Great Location - Secluded in the trees sitting on a hill is this 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath Ranch on a BASEMENT. Hardwood flooring throughout would look great re-finished. Bring your imagination and update the way you want it. The 1 Car + detached Garage is ugly but it is sturdy. Great for stowing the mowers and a workshop. Kankakee Valley School System.
