8718 D Rd, Waterloo, IL 62298

Welcome to 8718 D. Road, Waterloo, IL – Where Home, Hobby & Opportunity Come Together! Why settle for one parcel when you can own two? This incredible property offers the perfect blend of comfortable country living, exceptional storage, and endless possibilities! Situated on a total of 1.16 acres, this unique property features a beautifully custom-built 1.5 story home, built in 2002, along with a detached shed and a second parcel showcasing an impressive 60' x 90' outbuilding. Recently painted with a freshly sealed roof, this incredible building is perfect for hobbyists, business owners, collectors, or anyone needing exceptional space for tractors, equipment, recreational vehicles, boats, campers, classic cars, workshops, or all the toys you've accumulated over the years. Step inside the welcoming foyer and discover a thoughtfully designed floor plan. To the right, you'll find the spacious primary suite, complete with his-and-her walk-in closets and a private bath featuring both a walk-in shower and a relaxing jetted Jacuzzi soaking tub—the perfect retreat after a long day. To the left of the foyer is an oversized formal dining room, ideal for hosting holiday dinners, family gatherings, and entertaining guests. The adjoining eat-in kitchen is warm and inviting, offering an abundance of oak cabinetry, a breakfast bar, white appliances (all included), and plenty of counter space for meal preparation. A sliding glass door opens to the freshly painted 16' x 20' deck, creating the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, watch the sunrise, or unwind with an evening barbecue. Back inside, prepare to be impressed by the expansive living room featuring a cozy wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxing during crisp fall evenings and chilly winter nights. A conveniently located half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll appreciate the new carpeting (2025) in the hallway and one of the bedrooms. This level offers two generously sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, an oversized utility/HVAC room providing outstanding storage space, and a spacious bonus room that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, playroom, or hobby room (no closet). The unfinished lower level offers unlimited possibilities with 9-foot poured concrete walls and two large daylight windows that fill the space with natural light. Whether you envision a family room, recreation area, home gym, workshop, or additional living space, the opportunity is yours to create. An added bonus is the room located beneath the front porch, which could serve as a storm shelter or safe room, providing extra peace of mind during severe weather. Recent improvements and mechanical updates provide added peace of mind, including a new roof, LeafGuard gutters, a new roof on the detached shed, and a hot water heater that's only two years old. The original HVAC system has been professionally serviced every year, the home is connected to public water, and the water softener, which has never been used by the seller, will remain with the home. Adding even more appeal is the private pond stocked with bluegill, bass, and channel catfish, offering a peaceful place to fish, relax, or simply enjoy the tranquil surroundings. According to the seller, the property is zoned Residential/Commercial, providing additional flexibility for future use. Properties offering this combination of a quality custom home, two parcels, exceptional storage, a stocked pond, recent updates, and Residential/Commercial zoning rarely become available. Whether you're searching for room to grow, space for your hobbies or business, or simply a peaceful place to call home, 8718 D. Road truly offers something for everyone. Opportunities like this don't come around often. If you've been searching for a property that combines space, versatility, and endless possibilities, this is the one you've been waiting for.
