This updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers a hard-to-find combination of modern updates, outdoor living space, and a location that's tough to beat. Situated in a wonderful neighborhood just off the Illinois River, you'll enjoy easy access to Ottawa's downtown restaurants, shops, parks, and riverfront by foot or bike. Significant updates completed in 2020 have already addressed many of the home's most important features, including a beautifully remodeled kitchen, updated electrical wiring, and the addition of a spacious primary suite bathroom. The floor plan is practical and functional, with comfortable living spaces and three well-sized bedrooms. Out back, the deck and stamped concrete patio provide a great spot for grilling, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet evening outdoors. The detached garage is accessed from the alley and is complemented by additional off-alley parking, giving you extra space for vehicles, guests, or recreational toys. Many of the major improvements have already been completed, allowing the next owner to move in and enjoy the home from day one. If you've been looking for an updated ranch in a desirable Ottawa location, this property deserves a closer look.
