You walk up a brick path and porch into this quality-built Milan Krpan ranch in Fairway Oaks Subdivision,  established neighborhood with mature trees, tucked away south of Bethany Road, located right in the  middle between the end of DeKalb city limits and beginning of Sycamore city limits. This ranch backs up  to the Forest Preserve, separated by mature trees and bushes, to be viewed from either the kitchen  window over the sink; breakfast room; sunroom with windows on all three sides; or from the open large  deck with wide stairs leading into the backyard. It is from the open entryway that you first view the  handsome floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace in the family room. To the left, the L-shaped living and dining  room area, with vaulted ceiling, opens through two doorways, in a decorator wall, into the breakfast  room.
