Property write-up and Description
Selling a True 5 or 6 Bedroom, 2 ¾ bath, Well-Maintained and Well-Built Home. Loyd Lester started to build this home, for the Hamilton’s, in 1965 and was finished in 1966. This home is located within a mile of Macomb, Illinois and is situated on an oversized lot, accented by mature shade trees, with established landscaping and shrubbery around the home; giving this property an executive type setting in a rural atmosphere, with large front and backyards.
The Main Floor Consists Of: A large open kitchen with pecan cabinetry, a built-in Samsung dishwasher and a window looking out to the front yard, and the cement driveway; A large formal living / family room accented by a corner stone fireplace and a window looking out to the backyard; a center dining room; (2) bedrooms and a full bath, in which all three of these room are accessible by a mutual foyer with built-ins; a laundry room with a toilet and sink, and an oversized attached 2-car garage.
The Upstairs Consists of: (4) bedrooms or (3) with an office / study. The main bedroom features a large closet, and a corner study / reading area with built-in shelving and the other 3 bedrooms do have closets. The full bathroom on this level is unique, and has (2) separate sinks and (2) separate doorways.
The open, unfinished basement has poured cement walls and foundation, a floor drain and sump pump with pit. This space promotes future living space, that would be ideal for a family room, a recreational room or even a “mancave” or all three.
The home has (2) front entrances; While both foyers can access the kitchen, they both lead to the large family / formal living room. One entryway for everyday “Family-use”; and the other entryway for formal / social guests. The home has hardwood floors thru-out, except for the formal living room, hallways, kitchen, bathrooms and entryways. In addition, most of the walls are paneling, and it is believed it is on top of dry wall. By painting the paneling, or removing the paneling and painting the walls, it would be considered a low input improvement, and an investment, that could have tremendous upswing in value and potentially more equity in the home.
The home has electric baseboard heat, central air and an electric water heater. A forced air furnace could be installed, as the ductwork is already in-place and used for the central air. Each bathroom has an inset wall heater.
