What's special
This charming one-story Joliet home offers a unique blend of historic appeal and modern updates. This property boasts flowing hardwood floors, original woodwork, and molding, adding a touch of timeless elegance. One of the standout features is the recently resurfaced hardwood floors, which enhance the aesthetic appeal and provide durability. The house has been thoughtfully updated in essential areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, and exterior, ensuring modern comfort while preserving its old-house charm and details. Inside the home, you'll appreciate the spacious rooms with 9-foot ceilings, arched entries, and a well-designed open floor plan. The east-facing front porch, with its wall-to-wall windows, provides a wonderful spot for your morning coffee and allows for a refreshing cross breeze. Some recent improvements include a new roof, siding, fascia, gutters, privacy fence, and updates to the kitchen and bathroom. Kitchen features include shaker-style cabinets with clean lines and modern design, slow-close drawers and cabinets, butcher block style counters adding warmth, and stainless steel oven-range, microwave, and dishwasher. Crown molding adds character to several rooms; the "floor-to-ceiling" built-in storage in the hallway is a practical touch. For added convenience, the basement includes a half bath, an interior entrance, and an additional separate entrance from the backyard, making it versatile for various uses. There's also a utility tub and hookups for a washer and dryer. The property features a large, fully fenced wooded lot, providing both privacy and a natural, shaded oasis thanks to a majestic oak tree. The garage is conveniently located in the back, and there's parking space for up to 4 to 5 vehicles and street parking. The location of this home is convenient, with easy access to I-80 and nearby transportation, making commuting a breeze. Additionally, just a block away, you'll find a lovely large park with various amenities like a playground, Disc Golf, and a spacious covered eating area with picnic tables, perfect for outdoor activities and family gatherings. This beautiful, quiet neighborhood is close to essential amenities like grocery stores and gas stations, ensuring your daily needs are within easy reach. This home is truly move-in ready, with no carpet, and it's smoke-free, a bonus for those with allergies or sensitivities.
