Call now (815) 590-5567 for private showing!! Beautifully landscaped/maintained and recently updated (July 2020) ranch-style home located in the quiet, small town of Prophetstown, Illinois. Prophetstown is conveniently located 3 miles off of Interstate 88 in Whiteside County, approximately 20 minutes from Sterling/Rock Falls and about 35 minutes from the QC Metro Area. Prophetstown is an excellent, safe place to raise a family (with numerous city/state parks and great schools) or to find peace and tranquility while enjoying retirement. Our home is located on the southern border of town, with corn fields and timber behind the fenced-in backyard. The lawn and landscaping are immaculate and the backyard is an oasis for entertaining family and friends. The backyard features a 24’ above-ground swimming pool, ¾ wrap-around pool deck (825 ft²), 5-tier custom designed wood patio (725 ft²) with built-in fire pit, and a 28’ x 57’ play area which includes a trampoline and wooden play set. All patio furniture and pool accessories/equipment included with sale of home. The swimming pool, deck, wood patio, and wooden security fence were all installed in 2015. The total lot size is just under .40 acres, which gives the buyers plenty of room to entertain, while still enjoying the perks of living within city limits (walking distance to parks, historic downtown, and schools). The ranch-style home was built in 1979 and has been totally remodeled/updated since we purchased the home in 2003. The most recent updates (July 2020) include new premium Gentek vinyl siding (lifetime transferable warranty), new roof (Owen Corning TruDefinition Duration lifetime warranty architectural shingles), new gutters/downspouts, new soffit/fascia, and all new Crestline windows throughout the entire home. To round out the updates completed this summer, a new Carrier Central Air System (5-year manufacturer’s warranty) was installed, in addition to 2 new garage doors/operators and new front/rear entry doors. Our home totals 2500 ft² (1960 ft² of finished space and 540 ft² of unfinished bonus/storage space in the basement which includes a utility room). The main floor includes a large living room, updated oak kitchen and dining room, 3 large bedrooms, and a bathroom, in which all were repainted this summer. Every bedroom has adequate closet space and include built in closet organizers. Every room in the home can be independently temperature controlled with zoned baseboard heaters which include dedicated thermostats in each zone (every heater and thermostat have been updated within the past two years). The finished portion of the basement was completed in 2013 and includes a large family room with walk-in closet for extra storage or could be used as a den or office and a large 4th bedroom with oversized closet. The unfinished part of the basement features a utility room (washer, dryer, water softener, hot water heater, utility shower) and a large bonus area for additional storage or potential future expansion. The large unfinished bonus area is currently being used as a fitness area. All kitchen and utility room appliances are included with the sale of the home. If you are looking for a newly remodeled home that has everything a homeowner could ever want; from a cozy updated interior, to an amazing yard to entertain family and friends, this is the perfect home for you. We are currently selling FSBO so please get pre-approved and contact us soon if you want a private showing. Current asking price is less than $60/ft² so this amazing home will not last long.
