When you enter, you'll find a spacious foyer that leads to a large living room and a bright sunroom porch on the east side. Upstairs, all four bedrooms feature hardwood floors. The west bedroom opens to a covered balcony with a view of the Fox River. There is a new roof, a gated fence, and refinished hardwood floors in 2022. The electrical service was upgraded to 200 amps in 2025. New sidewalks and patios were added in 2025. The upstairs bathroom was remodeled in 2025, adding modern comfort while preserving the home's appeal. These thoughtful improvements make this home truly move-in ready. The home sits on one lot, and the two-car detached garage is on a separate lot with its own tax bill. With generous space, a smart floorplan, and extensive updates, this Eastside property is a must-see. Parcel numbers: 21-11-251-007 for the house and 21-11-251-006 for the garage lot.
