About this House

Here's your chance to own a picturesque 1.64 acre farmette, in the Community Unit 2 School District. Set well back from the road, this charming 4 bed, 2 bath 1950's farmhouse has been tastefully updated and cared for with many recent upgrades. Guests are welcomed into a sizable entryway/mudroom just off the back deck. As you enter the modern kitchen, you'll notice the stylish finishes, highlighted by the natural light from well positioned windows. The open concept kitchen leads to a roomy, yet cozy, living room with more natural light from large windows. A first floor bathroom and a bedroom, which could double as an office, complete the first floor. The second floor includes 3 more bedrooms and a full bath. The main bedroom has a generous walk-in closet and dressing room. The basement has been finished with durable vinyl flooring, while the high ceilings and windows make this basement feel like so much more. Kid's playroom, man-cave, or home gym, the choice is yours. Outside a four car detached garage, with 2 separate garage doors, make getting to your tools and toys easy and convenient. Whether its splashing in the pool, swinging on the swing-set or playing in the playhouse/shed, your kids will have everything they need to enjoy their summer outside. Bonfires, sunsets, and room to spread your wings, this is country living at its finest!

    "One of us is 5 minutes away, the other works from home. Our home is 5-10 minutes from many restaurants and stores. "

    "Need a vehicle to access most areas of Ottawa. Walking is an option, due to many sidewalks. Ottawa is limited because of only one bridge crossing the Illinois River. The Northeast side of town (where the High School located) is also limited because of only 2 ways in and out. Currently it has only 1 way due to construction. "

  • Jess M.
    "There’s a lot of other dogs so if your dog doesn’t like other dogs just be careful. Everyone picks up after there animals pretty well and most of the dogs are nice. A lot of them end up being aggressive with your dog but other than that it’s a lovely place for your dog. "

  • Felix A. L. O.
    "Location cannot be beat. Lovely area filled with unique styles of homes. Not a cookie-cutter development. Quiet, peaceful and friendly. Great mix of people of all ages. Well maintained homes make the North side a sought after location. Believe it or not, there are people who actually did not know this area of Ottawa exists. Close enough to the downtown area if you choose to take a nice walk to the riverfront. Good caring neighbors. Cannot emphasize enough how nice and tranquil it is in this area. Great School District, close to all churches and Ottawa Regional Hospital and Medical Center. Definately a lovely place to live. "
