    About this House

    What a great opportunity to own one or two wooded lots at the west edge of unincorporated Ottawa. This lot is 1.93 acres and the front flat and is cleared, the back is wooded going to a small ravine. The lot next to it at 2970 E 1489th rd, is also for sale and has an addiotnal 1.34 acres with the same topography. For a total of 3.27 acres. You can buy one or both as a package deal and maybe build in the middle. This would be great for a walkout basement. Or keep the home up front and use the flat area of the land. Private well and septic is required. Check out the drone photos to see the neighborhood, with beautiful homes. And additional detached garages are allowed up to 800 sf.. With great accessibility to shopping, Rt 80, historic Ottawa and all the great things it has to offer.

      "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. "

      "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. "
