707 N 4th Street

Why look at a remodel when you can move right in to a full renovation? Every aspect of this mid-century home has been addressed. As soon as you pull up, you'll love the blue exterior of the freshly painted cedar siding with new gutters and spruced up yard. The front yard is inviting for sure, but the back yard it both private and cozy - sure to be enjoyed all year long. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, with a lovely public park across the street and farm land directly behind said park. The location is just blocks from Rt. 38, so even being in the quaint community of Ashton you will be aligned with easy access to the surrounding communities of Rochelle, Dixon and just minutes from US 88. As soon as you step inside you will be sure to fall in love. The entryway has a charming built-in to flow perfectly with the style of this flawless renovation. The matching laminate flooring runs throughout the entire home and is a great neutral. The entire HVAC system was installed just months before listing, along with the water heater, water softener and expanded electrical panel. All of the internal plumbing fixtures have been repiped as well. Both the full and half bath were totally renovated with custom vanities and tile. The main bath has a lighted vanity and a double trough sink. The kitchen was totally gutted and renewed with beautiful cabinets, including three roll-out drawers and two with rotating shelves, and the quartz countertops will leave a sparkle in your eye. Then ALL the new appliances will be sure to captivate you - the dishwasher was a new addition but the disposal, stove, microwave and refrigerator are all brand new too. There is an interior water dispenser and ice maker in the fridge for convenience and refreshment. With all of this there is still room for a table and chairs, making this a functional eat-in kitchen if you choose. The huge, sunken family room is quite captivating and will be sure to be a great gathering space with the wood burning fireplace, full brick wall and exposed beams. There is a very convenient dry bar/buffet too with gorgeous butcherblock counter top for entertaining or convenience. A closet within the family room offers great options for room use as well. Directly off this great room is a perfectly appointed screened in porch. With the freshly painted concrete floor, inset tongue and groove pine ceiling and ceiling fan, you can enjoy the space most of the year. The dining room flows perfectly into the living room, but not before you pay special attention to the eye-catching feature wall and stunning new light fixture. Then the living room is nice and deep to afford a gathering of a large group of family and/or friends. Both the north and south walls have striking floor to ceiling windows. The bedrooms all have spacious closets with the old-school pull chain lights having been updated to switches. The main bedroom has another great accent wall that is also eye-catching, yet subtle at the same time. Every inch of the interior has been freshly painted and is heavily insulated from the crawlspace to the attic (access in bedroom hallway). All of these recent renovations were prudently planned out with the contractor and owner while staying true to the original style and relevance of the property. This home was the first all-electric home in northern IL, its location lends it to convenience and charm and should be appreciated by a vast collection of home buyers.
