"A rare opportunity to create your dream home." Step back in time with this well-built 1960s brick ranch, ideally located within walking distance of Northern Illinois University, restaurants, shopping, and other everyday conveniences. Offering 2-3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, this spacious home has been lovingly maintained and presents a wonderful opportunity to update and personalize to your own style. The TV room/office off of the dining area, could be the 3rd bedroom. Important mechanical updates have already been completed, including a new roof in 2025 and a new boiler for the hot water baseboard heating system in 2024, providing peace of mind for years to come. The bright three-season sunroom features newer windows and overlooks a private, tree-lined backyard-an ideal space to relax or entertain. Inside, all carpeting has been removed, giving the next owner a clean slate to choose the flooring that best suits their taste and lifestyle. Additional features include an attached two-car garage, an extra parking pad, and a spacious layout with great potential. The property, including the kitchen appliances, is being sold AS IS.
