Check out this Sycamore sweetheart! This home is in move-in condition. Perfectly located close to downtown and shopping on Dekalb Avenue/Sycamore Road. The family room is super spacious with new LVP flooring and lots of windows that provide ample natural light. The kitchen has plenty of cabinets, tons of counter space and new vinyl flooring. There is also an eating area with room for a table. The 2nd bedroom has a nice walk-in closet and the bathroom features a tub with a tile surround. All of the appliances plus the washer and gas dryer are included. There is a giant heated garage with an updated insulated door and garage door opener plus a 100 amp service panel. The backyard is nice with a firepit for relaxing evenings. Updates include some fresh paint, new roof in 2023, new water heater in 2024, new front stoop, side door and front window in 2025. The prior owner updated the electrical, plumbing, furnace and windows.
