Property Description
Do you want a beautiful, updated home with all the work done for you? This one can be yours! New carpeting and lush padding, new neutral luxury vinyl plank flooring, freshly painted throughout, new driveway sealing coating, and other updates! This Cortland subdivision provides a country-feel atmosphere but is close to Sycamore and DeKalb with more amenities and a university nearby. Commute to work? Convenient to I88 and other transportation. What a perfect layout for everyday living and entertainment! This two-story home is nearly 2,500-square-foot and is larger than many of the new construction developments nearby. This very spacious home includes: 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, an expansive kitchen, eat-in area and adjacent family room, overlooking private back yard, a huge bonus room which can be converted into a 4th bedroom, and a large living room and dining room combo. The 19x18 master bedroom is luxurious and massive and the other 2 bedrooms are nice-sized. How about these important features? Typical low electric bills with a solar system which is "green, environmentally-friendly" and provides your energy needs generated by the sun. Great benefit: solar system paid by seller at the time of closing. For more information have your agent contact listing agent. This house qualifies for a USDA mortgage loan. This super neighborhood has playgrounds, walking trails, and bus service for nearby schools. Don't miss the fantastic home!
