Description
Back on market! Buyer's loan was denied due to their financial situation two days before closing. We had passed inspection, appraisal, fha. Very unique property for this area! Where do we even start? Very private secluded lot for this hillside ranch with walkout basement, over .5 acre. Gorgeous views of the Fox River Valley. See beautiful sunsets over the river, regular sightings of eagles, blue jays, cardinals, hawks - sometimes right in your backyard! Peaceful, established neighborhood featuring 4 parks along the river. Yes, 4 parks! River walk path goes right through the neighborhood. Walking distance to downtown Oswego with great restaurants, bars, and shops. Great fishing steps away from your house, owner has caught nice smallmouth and huge catfish along the bank. Beautiful mature trees throughout the neighborhood and property, including a peach and pear tree on the lot. We haven't even gotten to the actual house yet! Tons of garage space- 4.5 car spaces, 3.5 in attached garage and 1 in detached garage with additional storage shed. Owner had 4 vehicles and a boat all in garage spaces and still had plenty of room for storage, or you could have a mechanic's dream shop. You could also park an RV (or multiples RVs!) in the large driveway. Finished basement area with hand-stained shiplap wall, wet bar nook, full bath with great tile work and laundry, and woodburning fireplace could be man cave, huge 4th bedroom, or studio in-law suite. Add a door back and you could have two units here and an excellent investment property. Upper (ranch/main floor) level has eat in kitchen with beautiful custom cabinets, 3 season room, 3 bedrooms, large living room. 3 season room gets a lot of sunlight and will be warm on a sunny day even in winter! HUGE walk-up deck off the 3 season room is awesome for hosting gatherings, bonfires, laying out, or just relaxing and taking in the great views. Central AC and forced air heat. New roof, downspots, window wraps to be installed!
