Ring in the New Year with a fantastic opportunity to own a 3/2 ranch home approximately a quarter-mile from Eastern Illinois University! An open concept dining room and formal living room flows beautifully to the kitchen; a welcoming area with abundant cabinet and counter space. The kitchen opens to the family room; great for watching the game or entertaining your guests. Completed in 2024, a sunroom was added for additional enjoyment of the family room, or a private sun filled area to enjoy a book or the newly landscaped and fenced in yard. Take advantage of the half bath for a quick cleanup, located near the attached garage, which contains a separate laundry room. Two large bedrooms with ample closet space are located near the full bath. The quaint third bedroom is large enough for a twin bed or a darling nursery or office. Located in an established neighborhood yet allowing for incredible privacy this home certainly checks the boxes. This home will not last! NOTES: sewer line '03; central air conditioning '13; roof shingles (tear off) and front door '17; vinyl flooring '21; sunroom '24; stone patio '24; landscaping '24; new 12x16 utility shed conveys (Nov '23); a fireplace is behind the south wall of the family room (mantle removed and drywalled over).
