Country living within minutes of downtown Sycamore. A lovely wooded .98 acre lot and much privacy is what you will find in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch home in Deerpath Estates Subdivision. Wooded frontage and a long driveway make for a wonderfully private entrance to the home. Enter through the welcoming foyer where you feel like this is home the minute you walk in. The office has great views of the front yard and has French doors for privacy. The family room with wonderful views of the backyard, has a  vaulted ceiling, a woodburning stove, and is located next to the cozy kitchen so everyone can enjoy friendly conversation when entertaining or relaxing in the evenings by a cozy fire.  The kitchen cabinets and appliances are newer. Ken Spears Construction installed them in 2020. The breakfast bar is great for kids or quick meals. The formal dining room with a sliding glass door is a lovely area to dine together while admiring the wooded front yard. The first-floor laundry room is conveniently located near the kitchen and oversized two-car garage. There is a sink and a large closet when coming in from the cold. There is also access to the backyard from the mudroom. All three bedrooms have large windows with an abundance of natural light flowing through them. There is a hall bathroom with a linen closet and the owner's suite has a full bath with a newer stand-up shower.  The unfinished basement is a great area for storage and with future planning, it can be a great space to finish off. There is roughed-in plumbing, a whole house generator, a filtration system, and a 200 amp circuit breaker panel. Outdoors is a large shed for the lawn mower and yard tools, a firewood "shack" that could be a great picnic area, a path to the back of the yard, many trees, and a fun place to explore. Privacy abounds in this setting. For those who want a workshop, the garage is a great place for this. This is a one-owner home, custom-built home, and has been very well maintained throughout the years. Updates include roof (2008); kitchen remodel (2020); radon mitigation system (2013); and most rooms freshly painted and furnace (2023). If a home with a private wooded setting close to city amenities and interstate access is what you are seeking, this home is the one for you.
