OFFER VERBALLY ACCEPTED. PAPERWORK PENDING. Lovely home on a corner lot with a side load garage and more space than meets the eye. This spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath one-story home has all one needs for comfortable living on the main level. Enter through the extraordinarily large porch to the spacious foyer with hardwood floors. The extra wide hallway is nice and has two large closets for storing items. One has the option to go straight into the kitchen, bedroom area, or living room from the foyer area. The living room is carpeted and has recessed lighting above the stone wood-burning fireplace. The fireplace is flanked by bookshelves and storage cabinets and is a great way to view the TV and relax with a fire during these crisp fall evenings. There is also a large window to view the changing colors of the leaves outside. The kitchen is fully open to the living room area and has an island with a sink and plenty of seating space around it. Dining room/kitchen eating combo area is a great place for family dinners or an entertaining space for guests. The kitchen and dining room areas have hardwood floors. Garage access is located near the kitchen area. There is plenty of space in the garage for a shoe rack to leave the shoes there before entering the home. The dining room overlooks the large, private and fenced-in backyard. Some landscaping projects are started and waiting for the next owner to make them flourish and expand. The laundry room is conveniently located near all of the bedrooms. The hall bath has been updated with newer vanity and ceramic tile flooring. The primary bedroom is large enough for a king-size bed and has two closets and a private bathroom. Lots of sun streams through this bedroom. Bedrooms 2-3 are both spacious and have nice-sized closets. The basement has a rec room - add some vinyl plank flooring or carpet and this could be a basement family room. The storage/mechanical room is very spacious and there are two bonus rooms and more storage in the basement. The installation of an egress window in one of the rooms could make this a "legal" four-bedroom home in the future. The garage is extra wide and has a service door to the backyard. The seller has great style and has made this home shine! Newer light fixtures, trendy paint colors, new ceiling fans, and some new landscaping most recently done. A new job opportunity is taking the seller away from this lovely home. Close to NIU, schools, shopping, and easy interstate access all in an established neighborhood. If comfortable living on one level is on your list, this is the one.
