About This Home

As of October 2024

Welcome to 721 N. 12th Street! This generational home has served many gatherings over the years with its well designed layout & spacious yard. Mature trees line the streets and provide shade and beautiful fall colors. The screened porch is perfect for enjoying the seasons and offers additional storage space too. The porch even has a ceiling fan to be able to enjoy those nice summer days. As you enter the home you will find the dining room to your left and the living room to your right. Next to the dining room is a 1st floor bedroom with original wooden doors and trim, ceiling fan with light, and hardwood floors. The dining area is large enough to seat 6-8 people and has a ceiling fan above as well. The beautiful woodwork brings feelings of nostalgia as you pass from room to room. The kitchen is nice and bright with lots of good lighting and crisp white cabinets. A new ceiling fan with light was just installed as well! To the right of the kitchen you will notice a nice size walk in pantry with plenty of storage space. Off the kitchen is the stairway to the upper level. Here you will find two bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and lots of storage between the bedroom and hallway closets. Also located on the 2nd floor is a full bathroom. Head downstairs to the basement and you will find even more storage space with the potential to create a workroom for all your projects. The second full bath is located here. A new shower was installed in 2021 & a new shower light installed this year! Saving the best for last is the big beautiful backyard! The yard is fully fenced with lots of beautiful landscaping. Fence was installed in the fall of 2023. Other noteworthy improvements include: AC 2021, roof 2020, dryer 2022, sink/fixtures/plumbing 2018 & new city pipes were installed this Spring 2024! Spend your summers floating in the pool! There is also a nice patio area on the side yard with enough space for patio furniture, grilling & entertaining! There is even room for an expansive garden at the back of the yard too! Go through the gate and you will find a detached 2 car garage that backs to the alley way and has additional exterior parking on the concrete drive. This is a great location! Only 2 blocks from Liberty Park & Little John Elementary School. Downtown DeKalb is only 1 mile away! Downtown you can find plenty of restaurants, shops, and entertainment such as The Egyptian Theatre, Ellwood House Museum, DeKalb Public Library and so much more! Less than 4 miles from I-88. This home is centrally located and most trips are a 10 min car ride away. Sellers prefer an AS-IS sale.
