Description

This recently remodeled two-story Eastside home with FOUR lots offers the perfect blend of history and modern comfort-plus a front-row view of Ottawa's softball field. A new concrete front porch and ramp (2023) lead into a bright, open-concept layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. The main floor features an updated kitchen (2023) with newer appliances that flows seamlessly into a spacious great room, complete with a convenient half bath for guests. The first-floor primary suite provides a private retreat with a beautifully updated ensuite featuring ceramic tile, heated floors, and a smart toilet, along with a stunning cedar walk-in closet added in 2024. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms and a full bath, all refreshed with new flooring and paint (2023). Additional improvements include new oak stairs, a new front door, updated flooring throughout, and fresh finishes that make this home truly move-in ready. This property offers plenty of room to relax or play, with a fully fenced yard and electric gate (2023). A quality Morton outbuilding with a brand-new overhead door (2025) provides excellent storage or workspace. Brand new AC unit installed October 2025. The same owners have lovingly cared for this home since 1971-now ready for its next chapter. AGENT RELATED

"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. "
