Listing information updated 9/3/2025 at 2:43pm

This large, all brick ranch was custom designed and built for former DeKalb Mayor and IL State Representative Joe Ebbesen. It boasts a 2500+ square ft home on an almost half acre lot in the desirable Town & County Estates Subdivision on DeKalb's North side. The home features a large Living and combined dining room with plenty of space to entertain, large eat in kitchen, rear den with custom fire place, 3 large bedrooms, first floor laundry, and 2.5 baths. Full unfinished basement is a great blank slate for rec areas, work shop, or storage areas. There is also a 2 car attached garage, and large concrete driveway for plenty of off street parking. Covered patio on the east keeps you out of the weather or enjoy the sunshine on a large concrete patio overlooking the back yard! The home is in need of some updating and is being offered AS-IS but would make the perfect home to move in and update as you go! New roof in 2022 with warranty remaining, and new 200 amp breaker panel in June of 2025. This one won't last long priced under $300k.
