Description

This is your opportunity to purchase a beautifully maintained, accessible ranch just 1/2 mile from the NIU Campus! This home is being sold as part of an estate and has been loved by its current owners since 1974! Although you may want to make updates to suit your taste, it is move-in ready and has a great layout. The full basement is ready for you to finish if you want even more living space. Your favorite feature will be either the brick fireplace (as it adds so much character and is the centerpiece of the home), or the addition - an amazing, large 4-season room, complete with a wood-burning stove, electric baseboard heat, ceiling fan and wood plank ceilings. And again, this home is universally accessible with removable ramps to enter through the front door, a first-floor laundry and primary bedroom complete with a step-in shower in the en suite bathroom. The backyard is spacious and relatively private with a patio and garden area. Hurry to see this one before it's gone!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from February 14, 2026
