Cute, charming, and full of updates! This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath original farmhouse is perfectly located in DeKalb's downtown district and offers so much to love - including a dry, usable basement. Step inside through the enclosed front porch, an ideal spot for morning coffee or a cozy nightcap. The dining room sits at the center of the home, connecting the sun-filled living room with the updated, fully-applianced kitchen. A first-floor full bath near the kitchen (farmhouse styled) and a first-floor laundry add extra convenience. Hardwood floors run throughout the home - a great choice for style and easy maintenance. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary bedroom with two closets, a second bedroom, and a half bath. The partially finished basement offers flexible space - currently used as a bedroom, but perfect for a family room, office, or rec room - and there is still plenty of storage. Outside, enjoy a large backyard with a covered patio, garage, and ample off-alley parking. Major updates include trenchless sewer line replacement, an updated electrical panel, a freshly painted living room and dining room (currently in the works), and a roof approximately 10 years old. Great home for a first-time buyer, those wanting to downsize or a great investment opportunity. Close to schools, shopping, restaurants, NIU, and interstate access, this cutie is move-in ready and waiting for you!
