Proudly owned by the same family since 1991, this meticulously cared-for home offers generous living space, thoughtful updates, and exceptional storage throughout. The inviting living room features a wood-burning fireplace with sealed glass doors and a heatilator insert, adding warmth and character to the space. A large bow window fills the room with natural light, and the drapes and sheers in both the living and dining rooms, along with all window treatments throughout the home, are included with the sale. Significant updates have been completed to provide lasting value and peace of mind. The roof was replaced in 2008, and all main-level windows, including those in the garage, were updated in 2010. Basement windows were replaced around 2007 and are designed to latch and open from the top. The home also features oversized downspouts and aluminum gutters, installed in 2010, for improved drainage and exterior maintenance. A new natural gas furnace was installed in 2023, and a central air conditioning system was added in 2008. The natural gas water heater was replaced in the fall of 2016. In 2011, the main bathroom, kitchen, dining room, back hallway, and laundry room underwent a full remodel. These spaces now feature refaced cabinetry, updated woodwork, and new flooring that ties everything together with a clean, modern feel. The kitchen offers an abundance of cabinet storage and comes fully equipped with a stove, wall oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and even a TV, all of which are included in the sale. The home includes thoughtful extras such as Ring doorbell cameras, four fire extinguishers, and a convenient bench located in the back hallway. The basement is spacious and half-finished, including a non-conforming bedroom without egress windows. The other half is set up as a utility, storage, and workshop area. A refrigerator, chest freezer, workbench, and storage shelving are included, providing both functionality and versatility. The attached garage features a workbench with a mounted radio, perfect for projects or hobbies. Outside, the backyard is ideal for relaxing or entertaining. It includes a large cement patio with a steel gazebo, a block firepit, extra graveled parking, and two hose reels with hoses. Underground cables for both Mediacom and MetroNet are already installed, ensuring modern connectivity. The frontage road in front of the property is maintained, salted, and plowed by the State of Illinois, offering reliable year-round access. The property is part of a shared well system with eight homes, with current water fees of $450 per year. It is also equipped with its own private septic system. An existing maintenance agreement with Larry Rhodenbaugh Multi-Flo of Sherrard, Illinois is in place through March 31, 2026, at a cost of $250. The new owner may choose to continue this service. While there is no active sump pump, the home benefits from a gravity-based drainage system that routes groundwater under the frontage road. A sump pit with an exterior drainage line remains in place in the basement should it ever be needed in the future. This property combines comfort, functionality, and long-term care, making it an excellent opportunity for any buyer looking for a move-in ready home with valuable upgrades already completed.
