Description
Beautifully Updated Farmhouse on DeKalb's South Side. This charming 2-3 bedroom, 1-bath farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, offering modern comfort with so much character. The inviting exterior and oversized front deck set the tone as you step through the brand-new front door into an entryway. The main level features stylish vinyl plank flooring, a bright living room equipped with a TV mount, and all-new windows for enhanced efficiency. The completely renovated kitchen showcases new cabinetry, a modern sink, hardsurface countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient pass-through to the living room, perfect for anyone who loves to cook or entertain. Warm, contemporary finishes and ample table space make this kitchen a standout. A newly remodeled bathroom sits just off the kitchen, along with a laundry closet featuring a stackable washer and dryer for added convenience. Upstairs, new carpeting leads you to 2-3 bedrooms, including a charming space accented by a unique curved wall. The primary bedroom's closet is located just across the hall, bedroom two includes its own closet, and the third bedroom, ideal as an office or nursery, can easily accommodate a standalone wardrobe if needed. Outside, the shared driveway (compacted gravel) leads to an extended asphalt parking area at the back of the home. A new back stoop provides direct access to the yard and the basement. The manageable backyard is perfect for grilling, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. This home is an excellent fit for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize, offering the ease of townhome-style living without the HOA fees. Rehab was completed between 2023 and 2025. Important install dates: water heater (2025), HVAC System (2007); Duct work (2024), vinyl siding (2023), sump pump and drain tile, plus a dry basement. Roof is approximately 13 years old. Located within walking distance of downtown DeKalb, restaurants, entertainment, NIU, and close to schools, shopping, medical facilities, recreation, and interstate access. With so many new features, this home feels practically brand-new. A true little gem with so much to appreciate! Seller is an Illinois Licensed Real Estate Broker.
