    What's special

    Covered storage space
    Country Comfort Beneath the Trees There's something special about coming home to a place where mature trees frame the landscape, the lawn stretches out around you, and town is still conveniently close. Welcome to 2214 N. St. Rt. 1 in Watseka, a 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offering approximately 1,682 square feet on 1.64 acres. From the moment you arrive, the setting takes center stage. Towering mature trees create a picturesque canopy around the home, while generous stretches of lawn provide room for outdoor living, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying a quieter pace. Inside, the home blends comfortable spaces with warm character. Hardwood flooring brings natural beauty to several rooms, while a substantial masonry fireplace creates an inviting centerpiece in the living room. The kitchen, updated approximately seven years ago, offers plentiful cabinetry, ample workspace, backsplash, and an easy connection to the dining area. Whether it's a quick breakfast or dinner around the table, the layout feels practical and welcoming. Then there's the wood-finished sunroom. Surrounded by windows and filled with natural warmth, it's a distinctive space that could become a favorite place for morning coffee, hobbies, reading, entertaining, or simply watching the seasons change. The updated bathroom features a clean, attractive design with a tiled tub/shower surround, while three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations within the home's convenient ranch layout. The property's improvements extend beyond the cosmetic. The roof is approximately three years old, and the gutters were replaced approximately 10 months ago. The kitchen is approximately seven years old and the bathroom approximately 10 years old. The windows, furnace, central air, and water heater are approximately 13 years old. Outside, a detached garage provides additional utility, along with covered storage space. But perhaps the property's greatest amenity isn't a single feature-it's the 1.64-acre setting itself. Here, country living doesn't mean giving up convenience. Located just outside Watseka, you're close enough to town for everyday needs while still coming home to a property that feels distinctly removed from the hustle. If you've been waiting for a ranch home with acreage, mature trees, useful updates, and room to enjoy the outdoors, 2214 N. St. Rt. 1 is ready to welcome you home.
