About This Home

As of September 2025

VERBALLY ACCEPTED OFFER. PAPERWORK PENDING. Charming and cozy cottage just minutes from downtown DeKalb! This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle. It also offers great potential as a rental or Airbnb investment. Lovingly cared for by the current owners, this cottage is within walking distance to schools, parks, shopping, and dining. A quaint, manicured front yard with a sidewalk welcomes you to the front door. Inside, you'll find a bright living room with vinyl plank flooring and a large picture window overlooking the front yard. A decorative fireplace (non-functioning) adds charm and makes a great focal point. The cozy eat-in kitchen features maple cabinetry, all appliances, and plenty of room for a table-perfect for casual meals or extra prep space-with lovely views of the backyard. The primary bedroom overlooks the front yard, while the second bedroom has backyard views. A shared closet separates the two rooms. The updated bathroom features modern finishes and colors. The mud/laundry room includes storage space and houses a newer furnace (2025); the washer and dryer stay. Step out back to enjoy a fully fenced yard-ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or letting pets roam free. There's also a handy storage shed (sold as-is). Additional updates include a roof replacement in 2015 and new furnace and gutters in 2025. With easy access to I-88 and everything DeKalb has to offer, this charming home won't last long. Don't miss your chance!
