About this home
This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse-style home offers endless potential and more space than meets the eye. Situated on a corner lot within walking distance to downtown DeKalb, schools, and shopping, the property features a heated enclosed front porch that could make a perfect sitting or reading room. The adjoining living room is filled with natural sunlight, creating a welcoming space for entertaining, while the formal dining room, with large windows and a spacious closet, sets the stage for everyday meals and holiday gatherings. Both the dining and living rooms have been freshly painted and feature drywall walls, with hardwood floors beneath the carpet. The large kitchen provides abundant cabinetry and countertop space, along with room for a table or island, making it ideal for those who love to cook. A first-floor laundry combined with a half bath is conveniently located next to the kitchen, and a side entrance with a mudroom offers practical storage for coats and shoes. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms all feature hardwood floors and ample closet space, including a primary suite with a walkin closet. The walls throughout this level have been freshly drywalled and painted, and a full bath plus attic access complete the second level. The basement includes a rec room awaiting your finishing touches, a concrete floor poured in the 70s (a flood occurred in the 70s, but no water since), and a back half perfect for storage, along with a full, updated bathroom. Mechanical updates include furnace (2021); most windows were replaced. Outside, the corner lot offers plenty of room to fence for pets or play, and the detached two-car garage, less than 15 years old, is a great bonus. Close to schools, shopping, medical facilities, and interstate access, this home is ready for your imagination to transform it into your forever home.
