Opportunity, location, and a layout that gives you room to make it your own! Welcome to 1426 Hanson in Pleasant Hills, where a little vision can go a long way. Situated in the Unit 5 School District and just steps from Sugar Creek Elementary, this 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath walkout ranch offers an excellent combination of space, location, and potential. With school, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences all close by, this is a neighborhood that makes everyday living easy. Inside, the main level offers a comfortable, open flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, along with main-floor laundry and a spacious primary suite featuring its own full bath. Sliding doors off the main living area lead to the deck and provide easy access to the backyard, while the attached 2-car garage adds everyday convenience. The walkout lower level offers even more living space with a large family room, sliding glass door to the backyard, 4th bedroom, and full bath. A generous unfinished storage/work area provides plenty of room for hobbies, storage, or future finished space. The walkout design and flexible lower level give you plenty of options to make the home work for your needs. Several major updates are already in place, including a 2016 roof, 2019 A/C, 2021 furnace and water heater, 2022 dishwasher and radon mitigation system, and roof-mounted solar installed in 2023. The leased solar system will transfer with the property; buyer must qualify with LGCY Power and assume the existing solar lease. The home is being offered as-is and priced with its current condition and remaining cosmetic improvements in mind. Buyers can bring their own style with updates such as carpet, paint, drywall repairs, and exterior maintenance, while portions of the lower level remain unfinished following professional environmental remediation. The lower-level bathroom is also partially unfinished, offering an opportunity to complete the space to your own taste. If you've been looking for a home where you can build equity, customize the finishes, and take advantage of an established neighborhood in a fantastic location, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Bring your ideas, your paint swatches, and your vision-and turn 1426 Hanson into your own! Please note: Some photos have been virtually staged to illustrate furniture placement and potential use of the space. Furnishings and decor shown are not included in the sale. Original unstaged photos are also provided for reference. One lower-level bathroom image is a virtually reimagined renovation concept; construction would be required to achieve the design shown. Photo availability and display may vary by website, and not all listing photos may appear on every syndicated site.
Windsor Hill-Sugar Creek, located between Veterans Parkway and Constitution Trail, is a residential and park-adjacent Normal neighborhood with curving streets and greenway views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Constitution Trail crossing near Sugar Creek, where walkers, cyclists, and shaded bridges set the daily rhythm. Housing reads as late-20th-century subdivisions with tidy setbacks, mature trees, and pockets of cul-de-sacs. Creekside paths and small park clearings shape an outdoors-forward routine. For local culture, the Normal Theater, the Children’s Discovery Museum, and the Illinois Art Station in Uptown anchor nights out and weekend wandering. The feel stays calm and connected, with trail corridors stitching the area to shops and civic spaces.
