Property Description
Looking for space, privacy and the freedom of country living? This beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 3-bath ranch offers 2,374 finished square feet on 2.41 picturesque acres just minutes from Cerro Gordo and I-72. Surrounded by open countryside, mature trees and an expansive lawn, this property delivers the rural lifestyle you've been searching for while keeping everyday conveniences within easy reach. Step inside to a showstopping living room featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams, a wood-burning stone fireplace and an impressive wall of windows that fills the space with natural light and captures views of the surrounding countryside. Original hardwood flooring flows through the living and dining areas, while luxury vinyl plank flooring complements much of the remaining home. The open kitchen provides abundant cabinetry and counter space, a large breakfast bar and a full complement of appliances that stay. Five main-level bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for family, guests, home offices or hobby spaces. The primary suite features a beautifully remodeled private bath with double-sink vanity, tiled walk-in shower with glass door and updated flooring. Three full baths and main-level laundry add even more everyday convenience. Need storage or workspace? The unfinished basement offers approximately 1,279 additional square feet with plenty of room for storage, a workshop, home gym or future possibilities. The insulated oversized 32' x 35' attached garage features 8' overhead doors and approximately 9.5' ceilings-ideal for vehicles, equipment and toys. Outside is where this property truly shines. The beautifully maintained 2.41-acre setting offers room to spread out, play, garden, entertain or simply enjoy the peaceful rural surroundings. A 40' x 60' concrete pad with water already available previously held an outbuilding and offers exciting potential for a future shop or storage building. Numerous improvements provide added peace of mind, including extensive remodeling since 2011, roof and furnace in 2011, well pump and pressure pump in 2013, septic system in 2016, high-efficiency 80-gallon water heater in 2023, upgraded PEX plumbing, steel exterior doors and additional recent updates throughout. Enjoy country living approximately 5 minutes from Cerro Gordo, 10 minutes from I-72, 18 minutes from Monticello and 26 minutes from Decatur. Spacious, updated and exceptionally versatile, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy acreage, a substantial ranch home and room for the next chapter-all in one impressive rural property.
