Welcome home to this charming one-story, three-bedroom, one-bathroom ranch bungalow ideally located within walking distance of downtown Utica's shops and dining, just minutes from Starved Rock State Park, and with easy interstate access for commuters. The inviting living room is filled with character, featuring a gas fireplace, original hardwood floors, and beautiful light fixtures. Off the living room is a heated sunroom with lovely French doors -- an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee, curl up with a good book, or, as it has been for the sellers, a favorite play space for kids and grandkids.

The solid, unfinished basement offers excellent potential for future living space and includes a built-in bar custom designed for the space, a safe with combination, a shower, and multiple storage rooms. Full of charm, space, and lasting quality, this well-built home has truly stood the test of time and is ready for its next chapter -- perfect for anyone who loves strolling to the library, enjoying downtown dining, or unwinding after a day of hiking the nearby parks.
