Fully Updated Country Retreat in Waterman - Modern Comfort, Timeless Style, Small-Town Living Tucked into the peaceful countryside of northern Illinois, this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath home in Waterman offers a rare opportunity to enjoy modern living with rustic charm in a serene small-town setting. Thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained, this 1-story home sits on a .21-acre corner lot that backs up to wide-open farmland, giving you uninterrupted views, added privacy, and a daily dose of tranquility. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the pride of ownership and attention to detail. The home's curb appeal is enhanced by its clean exterior, quiet neighborhood surroundings, and a welcoming presence on a spacious corner lot. Step through the front door and you're greeted by a warm, inviting interior filled with character and high-end finishes. The living room is anchored by a stunning exposed wood beam-an architectural feature that adds a rustic focal point while seamlessly tying together the home's updated design and cozy feel. Throughout the home, you'll find rich hardwood flooring, solid-core doors, and prairie-style window muntins that provide both charm and energy efficiency. The heart of this home is its custom kitchen, a dream space for any home cook or entertainer. You'll love the solid hickory cabinets that provide beauty and durability, sleek granite countertops, and newer stainless steel appliances-including a built-in cooktop and a double oven, perfect for hosting holidays or enjoying homemade meals. The step-down layout gives the kitchen a spacious, open flow, and a garbage disposal adds convenience to daily life. Updated recessed lighting keeps the space bright and functional day or night. The home's two full bathrooms have been completely renovated with ceramic tile flooring and updated fixtures. The main bathroom features a luxurious Jacuzzi tub for soaking after a long day, while the master bath includes a beautifully tiled walk-in shower with a spa-like feel. Both bathrooms reflect a clean, modern design while maintaining a cozy, welcoming ambiance. Each bedroom offers generous space and natural light, while the newer Crestline windows throughout the home provide efficiency and quiet comfort year-round. A brand-new central A/C unit and a 200-amp electrical system ensure modern convenience and reliability for years to come.
