Don't miss this one! New carpeting and lush padding, new neutral luxury vinyl plank flooring, freshly painted throughout, new driveway sealing coating, and many other updates! How about these important features? An energy-efficient Solar System means low electric bills. A new roof in 2017. A radon mitigation system was installed at the time of construction. This Cortland subdivision provides a country-feel atmosphere but is close to Sycamore and DeKalb with more amenities and a university nearby. For job seekers, Facebook headquarters is moving minutes away so a short commute might be attractive to you. From the front door, you will walk into an open living room and dining room combo which is welcoming, bright, and cheerful. If you want an expansive kitchen and family room, this home has it. What a perfect layout for everyday living and entertainment! This two-story home is nearly 2,500-square-foot home and is larger than most of the new construction developments close by. The 19x18 master bedroom is luxurious and very roomy and the other bedrooms are good-sized. Another plus is a huge 20x12 bonus room upstairs with a closet that can be converted into a 4th bedroom or used for other needs. The outside features attractive front yard landscaping with flowerbeds and a beautiful private backyard. The neighborhood has playgrounds, walking trails, and bus services for nearby schools. The home is minutes to I88, shops, town centers, restaurants, and more. A solar system is green, environmentally friendly and provides your energy needs which is generated by the sun. Your monthly bills are typically very low and makes for good savings! Sellers will pay for solar system panels at time of closing. Make an appointment today to see this beauty!
