Set against a wooded backdrop with a creek winding through the yard, the setting alone makes it feel like a quiet escape—without giving up convenience or access to the IVC School District. And for those who like to get outside, you’re just minutes from the Illinois River Bluff Trail—nearly 7 miles of scenic hiking with rolling terrain, mature trees, bridges, and creek crossings that make it feel more like a getaway than your backyard. Inside, the layout creates natural separation without sacrificing flow. You’ve got comfortable living spaces to gather, along with just enough privacy when you need it. The kitchen has been refreshed with clean, modern touches and opens to a newer deck—an easy spot for morning coffee or unwinding while taking in the trees and perennials. Upstairs, the bedrooms are generously sized with hardwood floors throughout, including a true primary suite with its own private bath. Down a level, the family room brings a more relaxed vibe with a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, and direct access to the patio—ideal for hosting or settling in for the night. The basement adds even more flexibility with a dedicated craft room, extra space for hobbies or storage, and room to make it your own. Pella windows bring in great natural light, while custom paint choices keep the feel current and cohesive. Comfortable, functional, and set in a location that naturally invites you outside—this is a home that’s easy to settle into and hard to leave.
