15 Ford Dr.

This is a classic! They don't build them like this anymore! Love retro?! You are gonna love this one owner, custom built, 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch home, with a sun room and full basement, knowing it has been lovingly maintained since 1971 and has not been modified!! This is truly a step back in time with all the amazing details found in homes built in that Era! There are beautiful wood beamed ceilings thru out the home, original pegged oak flooring, bay windows and several 'Dutch Doors'! The open floor plan was ahead of it's time, designed for entertaining with pocket doors separating the formal living room with it's brick fireplace from the open concept kitchen and family room. My favorite room in the house, the three season sun room has awning windows that tilt outward, and seem to operate beautifully! This is quality that has stood the test of time! The kitchen comes fully equipped with a 'Coppertone' stove:-) real oak cabinetry and a window overlooking the back yard and brick paver patio. Just off the kitchen is a first floor laundry room with a pantry, and a full bath with retro wallpaper, custom built-in towel bar and a large step-in tile shower. The second full bath located in the bedroom wing is equally impressive with it's stylish original tile flooring! The full, poured concrete basement is dry as a bone, no sump pump needed, and has been used as workshop and storage. The home was originally all electric, and there are controls in each room, however the home has been converted to natural gas and has a newer gas forced air furnace and central air. There is original low voltage wiring with lighted rocker switches thru out the home, a lighted dial type control panel is located in the Master Bedroom and secondary panel in the laundry room which operate, but please don't operate dials without guidance. There is a dial type timer for exterior lighting also located in the laundry room, so please don't touch or change the time. This gracious mid-century style vintage home is located on a private road and is accessed by a long winding driveway leading up the hill near the back of the 3+ ACRE lot which is dotted with mature trees and overlooks the nearby farm fields. Quiet Ford Drive has just 5 homes and is located just outside of the Yorkville city limits with a private well and private septic system. The home does have a newer roof, siding, gutters and oversized downspouts. There is even a large garden shed! This home is in an Estate and being sold in strictly AS-IS condition.
