Property Description

A DREAM COME TRUE! You'll love this 4-5 bedroom ALL BRICK HOME on 2 ACRES just outside of town about a mile and a half from I-57! The 1ST FLOOR BEDROOM could be perfect for EXTENDED FAMILY, too, or AN OFFICE. You'll pull into the driveway of this DREAM HOME and notice there is a driveway with GUEST PARKING off to the side so you can still pull your car out of the 2.5 CAR MATCHING GARAGE and not have to pull around other cars! Walk up the stairs and through the front door to see the spacious living room with new BUILT IN BOOKCASES built strong enough for kids that might climb. The dining room with HARDWOOD FLOOR to the right has enough space for a LARGE DINING ROOM TABLE which you might need for a 5 BEDROOM HOME! Straight ahead is the eat in KITCHEN with a sink that overlooks the BACK YARD and farm fields behind. Down the hall are a FULL BATHROOM and the 1ST STORY BEDROOM with HARDWOOD FLOORS. Go upstairs to the 4 BEDROOMS all with HARDWOOD FLOORS. 2 are quite LARGE! One bedroom upstairs has a set of RAILROAD TRACKS that go around the perimeter of the bedroom that can stay. Wouldn't that create some GREAT MEMORIES for some lucky kid? The SECOND BATHROOMwhich is located upstairs, services the 4 bedrooms. Going back downstairs to the BASEMENT you'll see all the great storage space and place for another INFORMAL LIVING AREA, someday. All with a WOODBURNING FIREPLACE! Going up to the landing you can exit to the 12'x10' SUNROOM looking out on the LARGE BACK YARD. Going outside you can use the 18'x10' DECK (new in 2024) and see all the areas GREAT FOR KIDS like the SANDBOX with the playset and treehouse. On the side of the garage is a small BASKETBALL COURT with the hoop high enough for small children. There is a STORAGE SHED near the south property line. Ask for the RIDING LAWN MOWER TO STAY. There is a GOLF CART ON PROPERTY CAN STAY, also! To the SW corner is a POULTRY SHED that lets the chickens go in and out almost at will! There are also 20+ FRUIT TREES. The current family had 4 small & active kids TO KEEP SAFE so they put up a PVC FENCE in the front to stay as a CONSTANT REMINDER never to go past that point. All 4 kids are still alive!
