Description

This sunny 3 bedroom RANCH in South Ottawa has it all! Walk into a bright sitting room (formal front porch) that has windows all around the perimeter - your house plants will blossom from the natural light. This open entry room can be used as an extention of your living space, an office, or both. The formal dining room, upgraded kitchen, and spacious bright sitting area have no walls dividing one room from another - a great example of a true OPEN FLOOR CONCEPT! The kitchen has newer oak cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The bathroom is spacious and updated. Main floor living areas feature tasteful laminate floors. The whole house has solid oak doors and upgraded hardware, handles, and fixtures. The formal dining room has sliding doors that invite you to a 20x13 deck on the side of the house. The BASEMENT has a lot to offer - a family room, 3rd bedroom, separate laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, and 22x11 storage space. Great yard with lovely landscaping. The 24x18 garage has plenty of room to accommodate more than one vehicle, perhaps bikes, a workshop or a creative studio. The garage has 2 overhead doors: one facing the long driveway for guest parking and the 2nd one facing the alley. Roof, siding, windows, electric, plumbing, mechanics were all done in 2017. Perfect starter home or a great house to downsize to; it could also be a GREAT INVESTMENT - rental values are $1,600-$1,700. ALL APPLIANCES STAY. STELLAR LOCATION: Walking distance to Downtown Ottawa, a couple of blocks away from a new children's playground, easy access to RT 23, RT 6, and I-80, and a short drive to Starved Rock Country State Parks and amenities. LOW TAXES which could be even less: property was previously rented, therefore does not have a homestead exemption - taxes will be less once homeowner exemption is applied. This home qualifies for 100% USDA FINANCING and a few DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE GRANTS for home owner occcupant purchasers - please CALL FOR DETAILS.

    "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. "

    "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. "

    "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. "
