Don't miss your chance to own this beautifully renovated modern farmhouse!
Pleasant Street, located between Lincoln Highway (IL-38) and West Hillcrest Drive, is a residential and campus-adjacent DeKalb neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and classic Midwestern porches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lincoln Highway & Annie Glidden Road corridor, where coffee counters, casual bites, and student-day bustle set the tempo. Ellwood House Museum, the Egyptian Theatre, and the DeKalb Public Library act as cultural anchors for an arts-and-history thread. Housing reads as early-20th-century frame homes mixed with smaller apartment buildings near campus edges. Sidewalks and mature canopy trees shape a walkable, lived-in streetscape. Green breaks arrive at nearby parks and along the Kishwaukee River corridor.
