About this House

Value and practicality come together in this move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch. This move-in ready ranch offers the kind of layout buyers are always looking for - practical and easy to maintain. The hardwood floors add character, while the large kitchen gives you plenty of room to cook, gather, or simply spread out a little. Everything you need is on one level, including the washer and dryer, which makes daily living easier whether you're starting out, downsizing, or just tired of stairs. Pull-down attic access gives you extra storage without sacrificing living space. And then there's the garage. At roughly 900 square feet, this is far more than a place to park. It's insulated and set up for someone who likes having room to work, store equipment, tinker on projects, or create the kind of hangout space most garages wish they were. If you've been looking for a solid, well-kept home with useful space in all the right places, this one is worth a look.

    "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. "
