Description

What happens when you start with a home that has good bones and totally update it from top to bottom? You have this move-in ready, solid home that is suitable for a number of stages in life, from just starting out to empty nesting. Most recent updates (2024) include a completely new bathroom and kitchen, replacement windows, new subflooring and flooring with luxury vinyl plank flooring in all the common areas and carpet in the bedrooms, and numerous drywall repairs/replacement from floor to ceiling. The mechanicals have been updated in the last five years with a new HVAC (furnace and a/c) unit, new water heater and new electrical panel. On the exterior, the siding and gutters are also new as of 2019 and the roof is just 10 years old, with lots of life left in it! The home is situated near the central downtown area of Athens, a small rural community in Menard County, just north of Springfield. The large fenced backyard is very private with no neighbors to the back and offers lots of opportunity for outdoor entertaining and play. In addition to having access to a top notch school district, the location makes it easy to commute to a number of cities in central Illinois, including Petersburg, Mason City, Lincoln and more. The icing on the cake: Seller is offering a $2,000 cash back allowance at closing for appliances. If you are looking for a home that has all the features of a NEW build at a very affordable price, look no further. Make this a very special holiday!
