Listing information updated 4/14/2026 at 9:03pm

Nestled on a quiet street in St. Charles, this three-bedroom ranch presents a rare opportunity to build instant equity in a prime location. Offered as an estate sale and sold as-is, the home is primed for your personal touch - but don't let that overshadow what's already here. Step outside to an expansive backyard and entertaining deck that opens directly onto the 43-acre River Bend Community Park, where scenic trails, fishing, a dog park, playgrounds, and sports courts are practically in your backyard. Inside, the layout is a clean slate ready for your creative vision, with three bedrooms (please note that the third bedroom does not have a closet) and plenty of potential. For peace of mind, the home features meaningful mechanical upgrades including a newer furnace, updated electric panel, water heater, and Generac backup generator. The property also offers a energy-efficient leased Sunrun solar system. Additional highlights include a one-car attached garage with bonus attic storage, concrete driveway, storage shed, and a charming front porch. Located just off Route 25, you're minutes from the vibrant dining, boutique retail, and historic charm of downtown St. Charles - all within the highly regarded District 303 school district. Don't miss this opportunity.
