Located in an established part of Kankakee just a short distance from the Kankakee River, this 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath home offers character, space, and a unique layout. Step inside and you're welcomed by hardwood floors that run throughout the main level and a fireplace that anchors the living room right as you walk in. The dining room offers a great amount of space and features skylights that bring in natural light and open up the room. The kitchen has been updated in recent years and includes newer appliances, offering a functional space with room to make it your own over time. The main level includes two bedrooms and a full bathroom, while the partially finished basement adds additional flexibility with a half bath, laundry area, and a dedicated workshop space. Out back, the property offers a setup that stands out. A double-tier deck provides multiple levels to relax or entertain, while the fenced yard includes a firepit area and plenty of usable space. One of the more unique features of this property is the heated and cooled bonus room just off the garage. Set up with a hot tub and its own climate control, it's a space you can actually use year-round-whether that's to unwind at the end of the day, host, or create a setup that fits your lifestyle. The two-car garage is accessed off the alley, adding convenient access to the property. With its proximity to the river, established neighborhood setting, and unique features inside and out, this home offers a great opportunity for someone looking for character, space, and the ability to make it their own.
