Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from June 02, 2023
A homesteader's dream! Come tour this unique 7.5 acre farmette with it's refurbished 1855 open concept 4bed/2bath farmhouse. The farmhouse runs on central air, well water, and a septic system. Custom staircase and reclaimed wood trim and flooring throughout. Enormous amount of storage with built-in cabinetry or open shelving in nearly every room. On each floor: two bedrooms that share a Jack-and Jill closet, one full bathroom with custom cabinetry, and double-sink with claw foot tub, and a full living room. The second story boasts lofted ceilings, a cozy bathroom with radiant floor heating as well as a vanity area, and a quaint sleeping loft. Main floor includes a large, bright country kitchen with enormous attached pantry/mud room with access to the outdoors and basement. Kitchen includes refrigerator, dishwasher, heavy duty garbage disposal, Dekton countertops, and double oven with a 5-burner gas stovetop. The basement holds a dedicated laundry area with storage cabinet and folding table, huge deep freezer, two large storage areas, and Dorothy doors directly to the outdoors. The exterior of the home is maintenance-free with Hardie board siding, a new roof 5 years ago, and a covered cedar wraparound porch! Detached 3-car garage with three additional outdoor spaces on the concrete slab, and lots of extra parking along the gravel driveway. There is also a heated/air conditioned entertainment or office outbuilding. All outbuildings have been refurbished and recently installed metal roofs. Four-bay machine shed with power access, corn crib, and 1855 dairy and hay barn with milk house also have been recently painted. The property features 3.5 acres of native Illinois prairie wildflowers and a grove of native burr oak trees, with a winding 1/3 mile walking trail throughout. An alley of maple trees welcome you as you ascend the gravel drive, and fruit trees are growing out behind the barn. Many events and weddings held in the barn. The entire property has been professionally landscaped and maintained, including more than 3,000 naturalized daffodils, tulips and perennials, and a stunning landscape illumination system. Swing in the hammock beneath the maple trees in the shade, sip coffee to bird songs in the morning, or take in the sunset over the hill while the crickets chirp on a simmering evening. Listen to the gurgle of the water fountain while you grill out on those holiday weekends or build a fire on the antique brick patio in the fall. So much to see and do on this lovely property that you must come see it for yourself! A preferred lender offers a reduced interest rate for this listing.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIn my opinion, the principal had cared more about what the girls were wearing than their academic capabilities. She would deliberately point out a girl and humiliate her if a bra strap had been out, a back was showing, or if an inch of stomach was revealed. She also very inappropriately would tell the girls that there were 3-4 b’s in which were not to be shown. Back, belly, behinds, and cleavage. Yet would tell the boys a very minimal amount and rules. This is only a problem if you see it as a problem in which what the girls are wearing are not at all supposed to be deemed as a violation unless they are genuinely wearing clothing that may be harmful at they’re 13-14 selves. It is unacceptable and I do not find it appropriate at all. Besides the principal I find the teachers to be delightful in which they happen to induce joy into my child due to their teaching methods and wonderful attitude. My child was wonderfully happy with all of her teachers and was able to create a bond with each of them. My kid was able to break out of her shell and participate in each class comfortably. Hoping that the new principal is more open minded this year and doesn’t immediately undermine the young girls for the upcoming school year.Parent Review9mo ago - Central High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had two children go to this high school. Moving into this district is one of the worst decisions I've made for my family. B. Central is a racist, homophobic, transphobic school. Look up the history of this school and news reports! My child was bullied and mistreated. Administration does nothing to help or support kids here. The school would not honor my child's 504 plan. I had to hire an advocate to have success in getting support for my child. There was one really awesome coach there. I am grateful for that. Otherwise, this is a disaster of a school. Thank goodness my kids are naturally smart and capable of getting into college without much support. Warning-- if your child needs any support at all, any guidance at all, you will not get it at Central. Your child will be on his/her own!Parent Review1y ago - Howard B Thomas Grade School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son previously attended Prairie View Elementary School, I would definitely say they are more family-oriented and stay in touch with the parents/guardians. I feel that the school is more approachable with the teachers and leadership.Parent Review3y ago - Prairie Knolls Middle School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI don't recommend it and at the same time I do. I just graduated from this place; and rules are not fair nor enforced correctly. Most teachers are nice, mainly the 7th grade teachers are nicer. 6th grade teachers got mad at me on the first day when I went there for not knowing where my Math class was. I'm not saying all of them are bad, but this school needs better enforcment- many vandalizations. But some teachers and kind and helpful.Student Review9mo ago - Check out schools near 40W639 Russell Rd.
