Welcome home to 540 E Walnut St in Geneseo, IL - a charming corner-lot property that blends comfortable living space with standout outdoor character. This inviting 3-bedroom home has 1,332 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out living space, with 2 bathrooms providing flexibility for daily life and guests. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, and the home has been freshly repainted inside, giving it a crisp, move-in-ready feel. One of this home's standout features is the insulated three-season porch - a bright, versatile space for morning coffee, a reading nook, or extra entertaining room nearly year-round. It's quickly become a favorite with visitors, and it's easy to see why. The fenced backyard provides privacy and space to relax or play, while the attached 2-car garage adds everyday convenience. Downstairs, the finished portion of the basement expands your living space with a second full bathroom, adding flexibility for guests or additional use. Recent updates include a newer water heater and updated windows, so major systems are already taken care of. Whether you're unwinding on the porch or gathering with friends and family, this home creates a warm, welcoming setting on a classic corner lot.
