This cute and cozy cottage is perfect for first-time buyers, those looking to downsize, or anyone seeking a low-maintenance home.

Located in the Pattens Addition, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage is within walking distance of downtown Sycamore. It's brimming with potential - just add some imagination and elbow grease and it can be yours to make cozy and personal! As you enter, you'll find an enclosed porch - perfect for a small dining area or a relaxing space with lovely views. The living room, located just off the porch, features a barn door for added privacy in the evenings. With natural light pouring in through the windows, this space also offers built-in bookshelves for extra storage and a cute electric fireplace for ambiance. The bedroom is spacious with a large closet and plenty of natural light. The cozy eat-in kitchen is fully applianced and has ample space for a makeshift banquette - perfect for meals or additional workspace. A good-sized pantry provides plenty of food storage. The bathroom, with everything you need, completes the main level. The basement offers plenty of potential to add extra living space -just waiting to be finished. The washer and dryer will remain with the home for your convenience. As is, it can be a great place for kids to play during the winter months. The spacious backyard is fully fenced, providing a peaceful retreat for family evenings or a haven for pets. Plus, there's a 1-car detached garage. Just minutes from Sycamore's vibrant downtown, shopping, dining, and with easy access to Plank Road and Peace Road for I-88, this home is perfectly situated. As an added bonus, it's within walking distance of the beautiful Blumen Gardens, making leisurely strolls a breeze. The roof on the house and garage, along with most mechanicals, were all replaced in 2006. Lead pipe intake replaced (2024). The lot is zoned as a two-family, offering the opportunity to build a duplex. This charming home offers so many possibilities - don't miss out!
