Much love and care shows in this affordable home that overlooks the Illinois River valley! Brand new bathroom added on, built new-from the foundation to the roof! New concrete driveway, new sidewalks and 2 new patios! Newer A/C unit 2021. Plenty of parking on this quiet, end street. Yard was regraded and trees trimmed all by local contractors. Attached one car garage has new headers that were installed in 2023 along with a new door & opener. Plenty of storage in the garage with room for tinkering! Inside, the versatile bonus room with main-level laundry offers endless flexibility-home office, playroom, or even a main-floor bedroom, as these sellers used it for.
