Description
Wow! If you've been searching for serious space, look no further. With over 3,900 sq ft above grade, this is a rare find. Set on over 8 acres across 3 parcels, this country retreat offers sweeping panoramic views from nearly every window-framing the countryside like a living work of art. This property, located in Joy, IL only 7 miles West of Aledo, even has the nostalgic old red barn. Step into a welcoming 4-season room that sets the tone for the rest of the home-bright, open, and full of possibility. From there, flow into the elegant formal dining room, where the charm of the original farmhouse woodwork has been lovingly preserved. To the left, a generous living room awaits; to the right, a spacious sunlit kitchen equipped for both daily living and entertaining-complete with a center island, double oven, brand-new cooktop, and a stylish stainless steel hood. The main level is designed for convenience, featuring a full bath combined with laundry, two comfortable bedrooms joined by a Jack & Jill bathroom, and a dedicated home office with built-in cabinetry and a picture-perfect view of the surrounding fields-a dream space for remote work or quiet study. Upstairs is where this home really opens up. The massive primary bedroom is a true retreat, with soaring cathedral ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a private half bath. And in the heart of the upper level, wide-open rooms invite endless possibilities-family room, creative studio, play space, you name it.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen I went to New Boston Elementary School, I loved going. They make you feel like you're a bad parent when something goes wrong that's out of your control. The school will be little you and the Nurse will call you a bad parent. The principal they have now is terrible, I would rather have anyone else then who they replaced Mr. Bush with. The nurse at the school is not a people person at all. My daughter fell off the playground equipment and nothing was done at all. The Hospital and her Dentist couldn't figure out how it happened either. My son most days refuses to go to the school because he hates it. The school when I went used to be amazing and now it's like you're walking into a prison. You say or do anything everyone thinks you have an attitude. They will give you a dirty look. The Staff is terrible, and I have been in worse schools growing up then New Boston Elementary and I would rather go back to the terrible schools then ever put up with how this school has turned out. It's sad they call this building a learning center. In my honest opinion the schools should have never consolidated at all. Maybe we would have a better faculty and wouldn't have all the issues we all have today.Parent Review2y ago - Mercer County Jr High School
