607 N 1st St., Ashton, IL 61006

Built in 1890 and updated for modern living, this nearly 2,000 sq ft two-story on 1st Street pairs the character you will love in an older home with an updated kitchen, main-level laundry, and one of the most useful garages you'll find at this age. Start at the enclosed front porch, a comfortable spot facing 1st Street for morning coffee or a quiet evening. Inside, the updated kitchen features quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, and it flows into the dining area, which opens to the living room. A main-level laundry room keeps the daily routine simple. The layout offers two bedrooms on the main level and three more upstairs, five in all, with a full bath on each level. Use them as bedrooms, a home office, or a guest room. The floor plan has options! Then there's the garage, which adds space well beyond the square footage above. It's oversized, with a large storage area on the main level and two rooms upstairs ready to become an art studio, gym, workshop, or perhaps a guest space - the opportunities are endless! That kind of extra space is rare in a house of this age. With a fully fenced yard, shed, and patio, this house is ready to become your HOME!
