514 W Broadway St, Sparta, IL 62286

This home was built in the 1940s with a typical floor plan of the era. The privacy fence in the very large back yard was built 2016, replacing a dilapidated picket fence. All plumbing, wiring, insulation, furnace, water heater, double pane storm windows were installed in 2002 through the Western Egyptian Homebuyer Program and the home is up to code. It has hardwood floors which were redone also in 2002. Master bathroom was gutted and completely remodeled and a corner garden 6 jet Jacuzzi bathtub was installed, new tile on floor & walls, washer and dryer hookups. Master bedroom is large enough to insert a partition wall and make the home three bedrooms. New roof in 2015. Two car carport attached to back of house that also includes a workshop vented with heat/air conditioning from the house for the craftsman and next to it is a storage room. The house has a crawl space deep enough to stand upright. Additional storage off the carport is located under the back porch, which is also the access to the crawl space. The back porch is screened in and a nice place to have morning coffee. There is a fully enclosed front porch which could be used as an area for entertaining guests, a home office, or ??? This home is very conveniently located on one of the main thoroughfares in Sparta, making it easy to find & plenty of parking in front and on the east side of the home. The neighbors are amazingly friendly! This would be a great home for a small family, or even a couple whose kids have "left the nest" and are looking to downsize. Update: Kitchen underwent partial remodel in January 2018 with additional cabinets made of beautiful sugar maple with soft close doors, all new countertops, flooring, sink and faucet! Looks beautiful and makes the room more user friendly! Update: June 2018, we laid a brick patio beginning outside the back yard gate and extending into the back yard to the right. It is large enough for a bbq grill, or canopied swing. UPDATE: front bathroom updated as of January 2019.
