403 W Tower St, Mulberry Grove, IL 62262

This bank-owned property is a pleasant surprise, offering a spacious, thoughtfully designed home on an oversized lot in a convenient small-town location. With easy access to IL Route 140 and nearby I-70/Route 40, it’s a great spot for commuters who want a little more room to breathe at the end of the day. Built in 2002, the home has some wonderful details that set it apart. According to neighbors, the previous owner was a career carpenter who built the home himself, and his craftsmanship can be seen throughout, including the beautiful hardwood floors in the main portion of the home and a truly gorgeous oak staircase. The open living and dining area features soaring vaulted ceilings and a gas fireplace, giving the heart of the home a warm, spacious feel. The main floor includes a generous primary bedroom suite and convenient laundry room, while the second bedroom is located above the attached two-car garage. Overlooking the living and dining area is a versatile bonus loft with two large closets. It would make a fantastic game room, home office, hobby or craft space, or even additional sleeping space. Downstairs, a large full basement with sump pump offers tons of storage now, along with plenty of opportunity to add more finished living space in the future. Outside, the oversized lot gives you room to spread out, garden, play, entertain, or simply enjoy having some elbow room. And unlike many bank-owned properties, the power has remained on, which is certainly reassuring when it comes to some of the usual concerns associated with a vacant home. Overall, the property appears to be solid and in fairly good condition, making this one well worth a closer look. That said, the home is being sold AS-IS by the bank. Seller will make no repairs and will not remove furniture, décor, or other personal property remaining at the property, so yes, the chicken décor may be part of the adventure! Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the condition or operation of the home’s systems, mechanicals, or appliances. Buyers are strongly encouraged to complete a home inspection for their own information and peace of mind. With its beautiful woodwork, interesting floor plan, abundant storage, enormous lot, and convenient location, this isn’t your stereotypical bank-owned property. Come take a look. You may find there’s a whole lot here to love… chickens and all.
