18516 Il Route 176

EXPECT TO BE IMPRESSED! TRULY ONE OF THE FINEST OLD FARMHOUSES AROUND! Old meets new and together you have an urban farmette on 1.59 acres. Quality, craftmanship and care in every single room of this home. No lipstick here! Stunning newer kitchen with 42 inch cabinets, stainless steel appliances, new counters, new sink/faucet, under cabinet lighting and glass tile accents. Trendy kitchen floor flows through the first floor laundry/drop zone/utility area and full bath. Access all of these spaces with your own private entrance that would be great for cleanup if you were working in the garden or had an indoor/outdoor pet. Two bedrooms downstairs with walk-in closet in the large master bedroom. Rustic but beautifully maintained hardwood floors. Cozy formal dining room is the central part of the main level and makes for a spacious open floor plan when entertaining. Upstairs you will find a large bedroom plus a bonus room for today's needs (home schooling, office, fitness or game room). Furnace & A/C new in '14, Hot Water Heater new in '16, roof new in '2018. Darling covered back porch with view of old barn 36 x 24 and detached garage. Electric to both but sweat equity and a little passion needed to turn these outdoor buildings into your big picture. Sliding garage door is in back but track is not working at this time. Circle driveway so no need to back onto 176. Don't just drive by, feel free to drive in and witness how quaint it really is. No covenants & restrictions, no Marengo water (private well and septic), no association fees or property managers. Just come home to your home and enjoy!
