About this home

Looking for a home with room to spread out and spaces you can truly make your own? Take a look at this 3-bedroom, 1-bath Watseka home with approximately 1,550 square feet and a large 70' x 100' corner lot! Step inside to find bright, generously sized rooms, wood-look flooring through much of the main level, French doors, and plenty of natural light. The roomy kitchen offers lots of cabinetry and counter space, while the spacious full bath provides room to move. Head upstairs and you'll discover one of this home's most interesting features-a large sitting room connected to one of the bedrooms. Turn it into your home office, reading nook, creative space, dressing room, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Add in newer windows, a full basement for extra storage and utility space, and a flexible 1.5-story layout, and you've got a home that's ready for its next chapter.
