This beautifully updated ranch home blends character, modern amenities, and peaceful living, all set on 1.75 scenic acres in the heart of Starved Rock country. Ideally located near I-39, this home offers convenient access to Chicago, Rockford, Bloomington, Peoria, Quad Cities, and more, making it perfect for commuters seeking small town living. The home welcomes you with a stunning paver patio leading to the front entrance. Inside, you're greeted by rich 3/4" hardwood floors that run throughout the main level, and a light-filled living room featuring a Turkish marble-floored foyer. The recently updated kitchen shines with Cherry soft-close cabinets, granite countertops, a pantry closet, and stainless-steel appliances, including a double oven, French door refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Adjoining the kitchen is a bright dining room anchored by an impressive 12 person, 6' x 6' granite countertop island with 4' x 4' of cabinet storage and hidden receptacles for added function. 3 spacious main-level bedrooms offer generous closet space, with the primary bedroom boasting a remodeled en-suite featuring a tub/shower and unique brick characteristics. A 2nd main-level full bathroom with a tub/shower has been freshly remodeled with new flooring, vanity, and fixtures, while the convenient main-level laundry area is discreetly tucked away. The partially-finished basement elevates the home with a dedicated theater room outfitted with sound-blocking features, vinyl walls, and a PVC ceiling for a true cinematic experience. A cozy family room with a reclaimed brick accent wall provides the perfect space to unwind or entertain. You'll also find in the basement a hidden storage closet, additional storage areas, and a 1/2 bath. Additional features include a Generac whole-home generator, fiber-optic internet, updated ceiling fans, and new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The attached 2 car heated garage offers cabinet storage and a versatile space for parking, projects, or entertaining. Outside, the backyard oasis is framed by mature pine trees and includes a spacious paver patio, a large well-built storage shed with a fold-down door, and plenty of open yard space for recreation or future expansion. This home is truly a rare opportunity to enjoy comfort, style, modern amenities, and small-town charm, all in a location that keeps you desirably close to everything.
