Older home on +/_ 1.5 acres in small town. Located about 20 min. from Champaign-Urbana and 40 min. from Bloomington area. Has mature trees and a large wrap around porch. The home is about 3360 sq. ft. so lots of space inside and out. We have raised 3 children here and ran two home businesses, and this property has worked very well for us. Home has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, dining room, home office, kitchen, and large family room. There is a full basement, not finished, but great for storage, and has a workshop. Hot water heat, which works very well and is quiet. We have put in all new windows, siding, wall insulation, and attic insulation. Kitchen has been updated, with all stainless appliances, bathrooms have been improved as well. There are wood floors, some carpet, and high end tile and laminate in the open concept family room/kitchen which also has a gas fireplace. Large windows, (some with leaded detail) bring in lots of natural light both downstairs and up. Though it is an older home, it has some modern touches. There is a deck off the south side of the home, covered by a pergola for shade, which overlooks a fenced in area, great for children or pets. Large raised bed garden, with established grape arbor, and black raspberry bushes. There are also fruit trees on the property, flower/perennial beds and a large shaded sand area for the children to enjoy. The home has a 38ft by 48 ft FBI shed/ garage which has an 8 ft. porch along one whole side. Very nice! There is a gas line to the shed; water, and in floor drain for washing vehicles. Room for 3 cars plus large interior sliding barn doors open to additional area, which we used for a rec. room when the kids were growing up (would make nice work area, exercise room, or awesome man cave). There is a small fish pond on the property which provides the sound of falling water as it circulates through an old well head, and surrounded by ornamental grasses blowing in the breeze. All this, and in town too! Just across the street from the city park. This home is waiting for the next family who is just as thrilled to have it and love it as we have.Additional property info: http://www.forsalebyowner.com/listing/4-bed-Single-Family-home-for-sale-by-owner-209-W-South-St-61854/23934932?provider_id=28079 Less
