Property Description

Located just blocks from the Kankakee River, this beautifully updated home blends timeless character with extensive modern improvements and now offers expanded living space with a finished basement primary suite. Classic details like wide trim and glass door knobs complement major updates including newer roof, windows, exterior doors, electrical, plumbing, and a new water line from the street to the home. An enclosed front porch welcomes you inside to a bright living room flowing into the dining area with backyard views, while the renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, lighting, and flooring. The main level offers two bedrooms connected by a fully remodeled Jack-and-Jill bath with tiled tub/shower surround and updated fixtures. Downstairs, the professionally finished basement creates a spacious private retreat complete with a bedroom area, full en suite bathroom, and walk-in closet, plus additional storage and laundry space. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with new vinyl privacy fencing and a refreshed detached garage with updated siding, service door, overhead door, and new electrical service. Conveniently located near parks, trails, and the river, this move-in-ready home offers the perfect combination of charm, functionality, and peace of mind.
