Situated on a generous tree shaded fenced .36-acre lot in the small Menard County town of Tallula, this stately 4-bedroom vinyl sided two story home sits awfully pretty with a whole lot of personality inside! Main floor of home offers a gracious front facing living room with great floor space, equipped eat-in kitchen, comfortable bedroom with hardwood flooring as well as an adjacent 10X8 den/walk-in closet, full hall bath, and a large rear 7X13 laundry/mudroom area. Upstairs, you will find three additional bedroom areas -- all with hardwood flooring -- two with large adjacent walk-in closets (one bedroom does NOT currently have a closet). Property also features a partial usable basement, covered front and side porch areas, expansive fenced backyard, 2+ car detached heated garage, architectural roof (2019), and all appliances to remain upon settlement for new owner(s) including washer and dryer. Efficient hot water heat, too (central air unit is currently inoperable and is being sold AS IS). Much to appreciate with this small-town gem of a property!
