Description

Buyer got cold feet! His loss is your gain.... Dreaming of owning a a home with mid-century vibe? This home fits that description. With imagination, sweat equity, and skill, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath one-story home could be your vision come true. The original foundation exists below the completely rebuilt home. The home was rebuilt bit by bit in the 1980's. This home has a contemporary California vibe. The brick paver driveway sets the tone for this unique home. Enter through the ceramic-tiled foyer that extends through the home or the garage area. There is a large closet for coats and boots when entering through either side of the foyer area. There is a great flow to this home. Next is a large window with great views of a courtyard. Imagine a fountain in this space and viewing it from indoors during the spring and summer months. The next room is the formal dining room or formal living room - your choice - with an abundance of windows overlooking the yard. The kitchen has a unique design and was planned with entertaining in mind. There is a nook open to the dining room, a built-in double oven, a cooktop, and plenty of cabinetry and counter space for the chef in the house. There is also a small custom china cabinet - with a piece of glass this could be a great bar or coffee station. There's a light inside too. The breakfast bar adjoins the eating area where one can place a large table to enjoy meals with great views of the yard and family room. The unique family room with vaulted ceilings has plenty of windows to allow for rays of sunshine. The wood-burning fireplace is angled such that you will always have views of the beautifully landscaped yard and composite deck. This room is a focal point of the home. The owner's suite has a sliding glass door leading to the large exterior composite deck and the lovely landscaped yard. The walk-through closet allows for items of clothing and easy access to the double vanity area. The shower area is closed off by a door for privacy. None of the bedrooms share a common wall. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are separated by a private hallway and a hall bath. Both rooms have unique qualities: bedroom 2 has a bay window overlooking the brick paver sidewalk and plantings around the home and it also has shelving for knick-knacks or clothing; bedroom 3 has a vaulted ceiling with natural light streaming through the windows and great views of the front of the home. You'll find the washer and dryer nicely tucked away in the hall bath. The basement is great for storage and there is another bathroom in this space. The two-car attached garage is easily accessible. There are gorgeous plantings surrounding this home and a custom brick paver sidewalk that one can enjoy all year long. The composite deck is newer and is a great space for seating and enjoying the lovely views the backyard offers. Close to NIU, I-88 access, schools, shopping, and downtown DeKalb. If you are seeking a project and a home that will WOW friends a family, this home is definitely the one. This is a one-of-a-kind home. Home is sold as-is.
