About this House
Charming 3-Bedroom Home in the Freeburg School District
Welcome home to this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath property situated on a spacious corner lot totaling approximately 0.51 acres across four separate parcels. This charming home offers a warm, rustic feel with numerous updates, including a roof that is only 2 years old, a recently replaced water heater, and freshly painted interior spaces.
The large kitchen comes complete with all appliances and opens directly to the inviting living room, creating an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining. The living room features a cozy gas fireplace and a door leading to a large deck overlooking the backyard.
A separate room with its own exterior entrance provides excellent flexibility and could be used as a home office, hobby room, or additional living space. The generous laundry room includes washer/dryer hookups and a large utility closet for extra storage.
The partially finished basement adds valuable living space and features a spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace that has never been used by the current owner. An additional entertainment area offers plenty of room for gatherings, recreation, or relaxing. The unfinished portion of the basement includes a large workshop, perfect for projects, storage, or hobbyists.
Outside, you'll find a fully fenced backyard with separate fenced areas designed for both small and large dogs, making it perfect for pet owners. The corner lot offers ample outdoor space while maintaining privacy and functionality.
