Description

Great solid home in the heart of Belvidere with space that you can grow into! What a great location that you can just walk your children right to the schools! Nice updates have been performed in this house that will definitely leave an impression! Maintenance free exterior on the outside with a nice fenced in deep backyard. Inside the living room opens up to the dining space and kitchen where there is newer laminate flooring. The kitchen cabinetry has been updated with painted Gray cabinets and new countertops! Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms on the same floor with all new carpet and a updated hall bathroom. The hall bathroom is very nice with newer ceramic tile, corian countertop, and striking wall tile tub surround! In the lower level you will find a huge family room with newer carpet, a fourth bedroom, and another bathroom that has an updated marble like walk in shower, ceramic tile, and new vanity. This Tri level does have a basement for additional storage too with a Lennox 90+ energy efficient furnace and a 50 gallon hot water heater. Newer vinyl windows throughout. Outback is a nice size deck to look over your backyard with additional storage in the shed that will stay with the property as well. There's not too many options below $200,000 in Belvidere and certainly none as nice as this!

    "the police and sheriff department are down the block as well as the court house and county jail there is a lot of semi truck traffic because of 2 warehouses the speed limit is 25 mph and these trucks do not follow the speed limit as well as the factory workers driving down the street like it's a NASCAR track there are a lot of children on this block and it's going to take a child getting hit by a vehicle to have the police or sheriff's department patrol more frequently mind you both departments are less than 1 block away"
