Description

Move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath home located on a corner lot in charming Sycamore! Featuring a brand new roof (November 2024) and numerous updates throughout. The bright kitchen showcases freshly painted cabinetry, quartz countertops, a white subway tile backsplash, and some newer stainless steel appliances. Enjoy new vinyl plank flooring in the main living areas and brand-new carpet in the living room and bedrooms, all tied together with fresh interior paint. Main floor includes a bedroom, full bathroom, laundry area, and a enclosed front porch. Upstairs offers another spacious bedroom. The full unfinished basement provides room to grow-ideal for a future family room, gym, or extra bedroom. Outside, you'll find an extra-deep detached garage, concrete driveway, and a partially fenced yard. Major mechanicals have been updated: furnace and A/C are about 3 years old, and most windows have been replaced. Located just steps from downtown Sycamore, library, courthouse, dining, and shopping. A perfect blend of charm, location, and upgrades!

    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 5 years plus and simply love it! The neighbors are friendly and fun. There is a neighborhood cemetery nearby that is very well kept and everyone walks there. There is an elementary school about a half mile and the high school about the same distance. The downtown is about a half mile in the other direction. There are two parades that are worthy to mention. One is the largest parade in Illinois held in October which is 3 blocks away and the other is the Memorial Day parade that is rather quite small but goes by right in front of the house."
