Classic Country Living with Modern Comfort on 5 Acres Nestled along a quiet rural road just outside Watseka, this charming 1.5-story farmhouse offers the perfect blend of functionality, privacy, and updated living. With 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and over 3,000 square feet, this home provides spacious comfort for multi-generational families, hobby farmers, or anyone seeking a peaceful country lifestyle. A standout feature is the thoughtfully designed 2012 addition, which expanded the home to include a bright and airy living room with fireplace and a main-level primary suite complete with tray ceilings and serene views of the property. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, modern lighting, and granite-style counters, while the adjacent dining area is filled with natural light - perfect for family gatherings.
