Property Description

Tucked into a peaceful 5-acre parcel surrounded by mature trees, 1897 N. 2500 E. Rd. in Watseka is the ultimate expression of Country Luxury-a perfect balance of rustic charm and upscale comfort. This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom Craftsman home offers over 5,600 square feet of beautifully finished space across three thoughtfully designed levels.
