Guarded on both sides by two beautiful hardwood maple trees, this turn of the century home has been extensively remodeled but hasn't lost it's original charm. Beginning in 2007, this home has been remodeled from top to bottom and inside and out. A welcoming front porch invites you to the original wood door. Cross the threshold into the foyer to view the beautiful woodwork on the stairway and handrail. A wonderful open floor plan leads you to the Living, Family and Dining rooms. Handsome working pocket doors allow you to separate the Foyer, Living & Family rooms for more privacy or keep them open and allow the natural light to fill the rooms through the over sized, energy efficient windows facing the South and East. Continuing to the Dining room, keep your dishware in the original built-in glass paned hutch. Moving into the custom kitchen, you'll find tasteful accoutrements matched by the functionality and durability of hardwood Cherry cabinets, concrete countertops and stainless steel. If the 42 inch upper cabinets and pull outs in the base cabinets aren't enough, store all your cooking implements and extra foods in the Pantry complete with wire shelving, GFCI outlets and ample lighting. Fitting the age of the home, a cast claw foot tub with a wonderful cascading shower head and chromed brass hardware sit on the speckled porcelain tile to complete the updated bathroom. Let the kids and dogs run! Out the back door and in the fenced yard, an oversized concrete patio sits between the home and the insulated 2.5 car garage. With ample room to entertain, fire up the BBQ and get out the patio set, you'll love the summer evenings as the sun goes down on a quaint, country town. A playset complete with swings and slides sits under the towering Pine tree in the corner of this 1/3 acre lot. Rich Kankankee County soil will keep your garden full with plenty of room to store your tools in the adjacent 2.5 car garage. Don't let the Illinois winter slow you down, this heated garage offers over 500 sq ft complete with a new, insulated garage door with quiet nylon rollers and insulated walls and ceiling. A heating unit keeps this space toasty and even cool in the summer with a a/c unit than can be removed and rolled out of the way when not in use. When it's time for bed, an easy walk up the stairs you'll find two bedrooms, a master bedroom and bath, and a cute desk area for your computer with loads of natural light. A full basement for storage makes this a very comfortable home to live in. If you enjoy easy small town living, ample comforts and close access to the Interstate, shopping and entertainment, this home will suit you well. Updates: Since 2006, we've updated this home continually. Starting from the most recent, we've replaced the roof to 30 yr Architectural shingles and commercial grade rubber, added a Rinnai tankless water heater, installed a brand new energy efficient A/C unit and new 95% efficient gas furnace, overhauled all the plumbing, upgraded the electrical with new wiring, fixtures and breaker boxes. New hardwood flooring installed downstairs and ceramic tile in the kitchen and baths. All new efficient, low maintenance vinyl siding and energy efficient, oversized windows throughout the home provide excellent natural light and views outdoors. The original kitchen was gutted to make room for more cabinets, a pantry, recessed lighting, concrete countertops, and more... A single car garage was made to a 2.5 car with new door. A new bathroom with natural stone and ceramic tile was added to the upstairs floor plan. THIS HOME WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING BEGINNING 04/08/2017 ONLY TO QUALIFIED HOMEBUYERS. RESIDENTIAL DISCLOSURES WILL BE AVAILABLE TO QUALIFIED BUYERS PRIOR TO VIEWING. THANK YOU!
