Welcome to 5252 Kaskaskia in the village of Burksville—a peaceful community just outside of Waterloo city limits and a quick 5 minutes from Waterloo High School. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and small-town charm. Whether you're starting out or settling down, this cozy retreat is ready to welcome you. Step inside from the covered front porch into a spacious living room. The eat-in kitchen features oak cabinets, ceramic tile flooring, built-in pantry, and all major appliances—including a dishwasher. Two comfortable bedrooms and an updated central bath with tub/shower combo make daily living easy. The adjacent laundry/dining room offers even more possibilities—convert it into a office, guest room, or whatever space to suit your lifestyle. This home has been completely updated. Outside, the full privacy fenced backyard is a private haven with mature trees, a storage shed with attached kennel, and plenty of room to play, garden, or relax. The large back deck is the perfect spot to sip your favorite seasonal drink—did someone say pumpkin latte?—while enjoying crisp fall air and peaceful surroundings. Invite your friends and build a fire. It’s a space that invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and feel at home. The single-car attached garage makes errands easy, rain or shine. Wal down to Burksville’s beloved restaurant and entertainment center. With room to grow and space to breathe, this home is more than a starter—it’s a place to build your future, create lasting memories, and truly make it your own. Cheaper than rent!
