This charming ranch-style home on nearly an acre in Mt. Carroll is truly desirable, combining a serene, park-like setting with convenient in-town living. Inside, the spacious living room is warm and inviting with its wood-burning stove and vaulted ceilings accented by wood beams. The kitchen is well-equipped with a cooktop, microwave, built-in oven, and refrigerator, all included. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy dining area, flowing seamlessly into the living room, ideal for entertaining. The home has three bedrooms, each with closet space, and hardwood floors throughout the living areas, bedrooms, and hallway add elegance and durability. The primary bedroom comes with a full en-suite bath, while a full guest bathroom is conveniently located off the hallway. The lower level expands the living space with a family room, abundant built-in storage, laundry hookups, and a second kitchen complete with sink, refrigerator, and cabinet and counter space. An active radon mitigation system is a valuable addition, ensuring a healthier indoor environment.

Notably, the property benefits from a new central air system and new furnace, installed in 2023, and upgrades in 2024, including a new garage door opener and an updated toilet in the primary bathroom. This blend of charm, functionality, and recent updates makes it a truly exceptional find!
