Welcome home to 1228 Howard Court! This Pekin gem has been completely transformed and is ready for you to move right in without lifting a finger. From the moment you pull up, you'll notice the fresh curb appeal thanks to the new siding and a crisp new roof - both updated in 2022? - along with a welcoming front deck that's perfect for your morning coffee. Inside, the vibe is bright, clean, and modern. We've updated everything from the flooring and doors to the light fixtures and paint, so it feels like a brand-new house wrapped in classic charm. The main level is flooded with natural light through replacement windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the living spaces. One of the best surprises here is the finished basement, which adds a ton of functional living space including a newly added bedroom and a second full bathroom - perfect for guests or a private home office. Plus, you can rest easy knowing the big-ticket items are already handled; the furnace, AC, and water heater were all newly installed in 2022. If you're looking for a stylish, low-maintenance home where all the hard work is already done, this is the one.
