Here’s a hidden gem waiting for you! This one-story home is just minutes away from the SWAC schools, shopping, restaurants, trails and the Jorgensen Family YMCA. Yet, it feels so secluded. What a lovely area! The first thing you’ll notice is the lengthy driveway, pretty front lawn and landscaping just before you see that this brick home also has an oversized 2 car garage - LOTS of room for off-street parking! Walk right into the large living area that opens to an eat-in kitchen. All appliances in the home stay. (Owner plans to keep the frig in the garage.) The primary bedroom is 14x12 and the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are also a good size. Go out the garage into the screened-in backyard porch. Here you’ll find such a tranquil place to enjoy the gorgeous half-acre lot. Plenty of room to play and garden. So many healthy perennials! Take some time to enjoy exploring. Tucked away in the back of the lot is a 8x12 shed. Windows throughout the home are newer. There’s been lots of renovating the last couple of years including installing new flooring in the kitchen, nook, living room and hallway, opening the access to the kitchen, updating the main full bath, painting throughout (walls, trim, ceilings) and installing new overhead lights. This is a well taken care of home. Both the furnace and central AC have recently been serviced. Utility averages: City sewer is $60, Electric has been roughly $85, Nipsco is $30-$40. This might be the perfect home and location for you!
