    4 Beds 2 Baths Our house is for sale, by owner. 4 bedroom, 2 bath, big laundry room and utility closet. Tons of upgrades, and theres nothing that we didn't consider while renovating/living in it for the last 18 years!! Custom oak hardwood kitchen countertops with bartop epoxy and matching table and barstools, hvac, steel doors, whole house fan, aluminum clad windows, including a huge picture window that overlooks the entire backyard, metal roof, gutters, siding, 100 gallon water heater that also heats on demand and never runs out, 200 amp electric svc, and every inch of wire and switch/outlet is new, whole house laminate except for carpet in the family room, custom cut tile in the front and rear entries, and tile floors in the bathrooms, tile tub surrounds all the way to the ceiling with recesses in the showers and Kohler faucets in the tile. Granite vanity, and a solid surface vanity. Main bathroom has a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub with an in-line heater. All new pvc drains all the way out to the road, all new pex throughout the entire house as well as using all brass pex T's and elbows, privacy fence with hidden gates, front and back patios, hot/cold faucets on the front and back of the house, tile floors and much much more. 16 x 28 detached garage, insulated and wired with 100 amp service and three 220v outlets already in use. 12 x 24 shed with 2 sets of doors and ramps, full loft, and 30 amp service with lights in top and bottom. The house, garage and shed all have the same in-stock siding from Menards, and the same burnished slate metal roof from Graber Post in Sullivan. The shed was colormatched and painted to the siding. Alley access with extra parking in the back. In town Effingham. Pics were still in the finishing stages, I will get newer and better ones as we move stuff out. We are on a side-road that pretty much only sees the neighbors as traffic. Quiet, established neighborhood. Im sure Ive forgotten some things. This is not a cheap throw-together remodel to hide problems and turn a quick profit. This is where we raised our family and honestly thought we would always be, so we made it right. Come look at this move-in ready house, and make an offer! Motivated seller. $259,900.
