The two are part of an expansive, low-maintenance yard that is attractively landscaped and fenced in the rear. This home boast many updates to leave you worry free. The roof was completely redone on house in July of 2015. Garage roof was done in 2020. A new concrete front porch was installed in June of 2014. A complete bathroom remodel was done in Feb. 2017. A 6ft privacy fence installed in April of 2017 leaving you with a secluded retreat. The HVAC new as of 2016. Last but not least the whole main floor was painted 2023 Rewards also await on the other side of the Welcome mat. Hardwood flooring (entryway, living areas, and bedrooms) makes a great first impression every time. Your design vision will find a blank slate in the neutral coloring of the interior. Like the garage, the unfinished basement is also a goldmine of conversion potential, whether you have in mind a rec room, guest room, studio, or a secluded home office. Within comfortable range of Fell Park, the shopping/ dining variety of Uptown Normal, Glenn school & Fairview park, and town center, you'll spend more time where you want to be instead of on your way. After your local excursions, you'll return to the traditional look and single-floor ease of ranch home living, in a neighborhood of low-traffic streets. Out front, the driveway has ample room for visitors' parking. Open the front door to a pleasant new life here on Poplar
