Charming, colonial two-story brick home that sits on the boatable part of the beautiful Kankakee River. Across the river is a backdrop of trees on state owned property, offering beautiful views throughout the seasons. The home has a nice seawall ready for your dock. This home has been extremely well-maintained with many original fixtures/tile in pristine condition. The large foyer opens to the kitchen or to the living room with a gas fireplace. The living room and dining room are combined for you to enjoy the views to the front yard or rear yard with large picture window viewing the pool, river and nature across the river. The charming kitchen has a quaint workspace area and a food prep area. The dinette has a shelving space to divide the dinette from the family room. The family room has quality paneled walls and has an exterior door that leads to a huge deck that is raised from the backyard to allow for great views of the river. Located across from Shapiro Developmental Center, you will be able to enjoy a backdrop of trees over the river and watch the changing of the leaves in the seasons. Within the last 10 years, the windows on the second floor were replaced as well as the roof. There are 3 windows on the first floor that were replaced too. There is a concrete inground pool that is empty and in need of repair. Along the river bank are two flowerbeds that may be an ideal vegetable garden for you. The basement is finished with a full bathroom and many built-in shelves. You may access the garage from the basement. Call today for your private appointment to view this charming home on the Kankakee River.
