About This Home
As of August 2025Step inside this remarkably spacious sprawling ranch tucked onto a peaceful corner lot in the heart of Watseka. With nearly 3,770 square feet of finished space, this custom home blends timeless charm with functional elegance. You're greeted by two generously sized living areas-one with a vaulted ceiling, built-in shelving, and a gas fireplace, the other with classic built-ins flanking a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, premium stainless appliances, and a large window that bathes the space in sunlight. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a private sitting room, double vanities, a soaking tub, and ample closet space. Every detail-from the arched doorways to the custom cabinetry-adds to the home's warmth and sophistication. Outside, enjoy dual patios in a lush, landscaped setting-ideal for outdoor dining or simply relaxing in the shade. A rare find that lives large in both square footage and style.
