Located on 1st Street, just moments from downtown DeKalb, you're steps from parks, the Kishwaukee trail, and shopping.

The living room features a large picture window, hardwood floors, and high ceilings that make the space feel bright and open. A brand-new main-floor bedroom and full bath were rebuilt from the studs up. The large eat-in kitchen still needs some love-unless you're a fan of bold orange and vintage wallpaper! Main-floor laundry adds convenience. Upstairs, you'll find two good-sized bedrooms with ample closet space and a beautifully finished full bath featuring a travertine tile shower. The full basement provides great storage options. A covered breezeway leads to the 2-car garage, accessible from the alley. Tear-off roof (2022), Chimney rebuilt (2022), New electrical throughout, Recessed lighting in bedrooms & bathrooms, HVAC updated in 2020.
