Listing information updated 3/26/2026 at 6:04am

Nicely updated 3+ bedroom, 2 bath home in a fantastic location close to the park, recreation center, and an easy walk to downtown. This spacious property offers multiple flex rooms-currently used as bedrooms-providing plenty of options for work, hobbies, or multigenerational living. The home features hardwood flooring throughout most of the main areas, a kitchen with 42" maple cabinets and stainless steel appliances, a convenient main-floor laundry, and a separate dining room that flows into the living room. With a full bathroom on each level, the layout works well for a work-from-home setup or households needing added flexibility. Outside, enjoy a detached 2car garage, storage shed, and a fenced backyard with no rear neighbors. The aboveground pool is a fun bonus, offering hours of warm-weather enjoyment. While the home could use a bit of TLC, it has great bones and the potential to truly shine. Notable updates include newer siding, roof shingles, and flat roof membrane, windows, updated electrical, completed sewer back half of yard piping restoration, and a radon mitigation system. Located near DeKalb's downtown district, schools, shopping, NIU, and interstate access, this home offers both convenience and opportunity. With generous space and solid improvements already in place, this is a great chance for buyers looking to build equity and make a home their own. Homeownership can happen!
