If you have been searching for a quiet country retreat this home deserves your attention. This 2.5-acre rural property with home and out-buildings is tucked away near the western edge of DeKalb County on a quiet country rd. where it's not uncommon for hours to pass without a car driving by, and even when a vehicle does pass, it is most likely the post office, Amazon, or a neighbor in their tractor or truck.

This 2.5-acre rural property with home and out-buildings is tucked away near the western edge of DeKalb County on a quiet country rd. where it's not uncommon for hours to pass without a car driving by, and even when a vehicle does pass, it is most likely the post office, Amazon, or a neighbor in their tractor or truck. However, it is only a 15-minute drive to Sycamore, 10 minutes to Rochelle, and 8 minutes from I-39. This property has been lovingly maintained since it was purchased by the Owners and the attention and care they provided is evident in every corner you look. The 3-bedroom 1.5 bath ranch home has a newer heat pump/central AC (2024), roof (2022), water heater (2022), basement insulation (2022). The kitchen has been re-modeled with quartz counter-tops, Maple cabinets with cherry glaze, and a built-in pantry with pull-out shelves (there is even additional pantry space in the adjacent dining room). The dining room has a gas fireplace and a view that stretches for miles to the south. The living room is the perfect place to unwind from a long day before retiring to one of the 3 upstairs bedrooms. A spacious bonus room that is finished in the basement is an ideal place for guest to rest and relax when visiting your private retreat. As nice as the home is the rest of the property may be where you want to spend your time. The entire property is surrounded by well thought out, well-maintained, functional landscaping. The mature trees provide a year-round wind break and are placed for privacy; in case the lack of nearby neighbors is not private enough. The 42' x 56' with 10' tall and 12' wide door out-building is a space you will want to spend time in year-round. Originally designed as a race shop, this space has had numerous trophies winning high horsepower cars crafted under its roof. The building is insulated, has a propane radiant heater along its length, electrical outlets and air- compressor lines evenly spaced though-out, and water and a floor drain to wash vehicles all year long. There is also Ethernet and satellite lines ran inside to keep you informed and entertained whether you use the space to wrench or relax. If your significant other calls dibs on the big shop there is also a 14' x 22' garage with a 8' x 22' overhang that is begging to be turned into a he/she shed. The mower can go in the big shop. Put a little gravel in your travel and see this property as soon as you can, so you can be the next owner to watch the sunset from your own private retreat.
