Just minutes from Northern Illinois University, this 5-bedroom home offers a flexible layout across three levels, including a semi-finished basement and generously sized rooms throughout. Whether you're looking for space to spread out or seeking a strong investment opportunity, this property is packed with potential. Recent updates include professional cleaning, carpet cleaning, a repaired A/C unit, and a new blower fan in the furnace. The home backs up to open farmland, offering extra privacy and a peaceful view, while still being close to local amenities. DeKalb High School is just half a mile away, and the brand-new Dr. Leroy A. Mitchell Elementary School - opening this school year - is only a third of a mile down the road. With its convenient location and rare 5-bedroom setup, this home is a smart move for anyone wanting to be close to NIU or expand their portfolio in a high-demand area.
