A cared-for 1-story home in Normal. The high dollar items are already done, including the roof, siding, windows, doors, and garage.

October 2026 updates include new paint and knobs on the kitchen cabinets, new countertops and backsplash, and a new garbage disposal. The family room has new drywall, paint, and trim. The basement has new carpet and new paint. The garage was built new in 2017 from the ground up, insulated and drywalled, with a new driveway the same year. A back foyer connects the garage to the home, with room for storage. A 2020 garage door screen lets it work as a garage, a man cave, a she shed, or a game room. Also in 2017: a steel roof, steel siding, house wrap with 1/2-inch foil-faced foam insulation, blown-in insulation, Kensington windows, a Therma-Tru front door, a sliding glass door, an electrical panel, and soffit and fascia. Storm doors were added in 2018. Gutters, downspouts, and gutter guards were added in 2016. The main-level full bath was fully updated in 2015. The kitchen has a 2024 refrigerator and dishwasher and a 2020 faucet. Out back, a deck, pergola, and patio make an easy spot to sit, grill, or enjoy a quiet evening. Other updates include cleaned HVAC ductwork in 2025, a new thermostat in 2024, a new sump pump in 2022, a new sewer line from the street to the house in 2021, and a new water heater in 2020. About 1,878 sq ft, with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a full basement that is partially finished.

Some homes offer more space. This one offers an entirely different sense of scale. Set among the manicured landscapes of Franklin Heights, this sprawling one-owner 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath ranch pairs exceptional proportions with thoughtful design, quality construction, and a home that is remarkably kept and seemingly unlived in. Upon approach the beautiful curb appeal sets the tone for what awaits inside; room after room that feels genuinely substantial. Rich hardwood flooring showcases the main level upon entering the foyer, while an inviting fireplace brings warmth and character to the expansive living space. Just beyond, a beautiful four-seasons room creates a spectacular place to enjoy the changing landscape year-round, filling the home with natural light and offering a seamless connection between indoors and out. The heart of the home is an impressive kitchen designed with both beauty and function in mind, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry with pull-outs galore, and a walk-in pantry so generous it rivals the size of some kitchens. A sizable laundry room and tasteful guest bath are conveniently positioned within the same wing. The expansive primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with tray ceilings, ambient lighting, a beautifully appointed bath with tiled shower and jetted tub, and a massive walk-in closet. Two additional well-appointed bedrooms complete the main level, continuing the home's theme of exceptional space and comfort. And then there is the lower level. Massive, beautifully finished, and remarkably versatile, this is far more than simply a basement. With an additional bedroom, full bath, family room, abundant storage, and an extraordinary amount of finished living space, it opens the door to possibilities rarely found in a home like this. Create a private gym or wellness retreat, an incredible playroom, expansive home offices, hobby or creative spaces or a combination of them all. Its size, privacy, bedroom, and full bath also make the lower level exceptionally well suited for multigenerational living, extended family, or long-term guests. Outside, the attention to detail continues with manicured landscaping, irrigation, an oversized three-car garage, and a beautiful deck with wide, inviting stairs that seem to draw you into the surroundings. From there, venture out to the community pond and wonderful paved trail; a natural extension of the home's outdoor living. This is a home where "spacious" simply doesn't tell the whole story. The rooms are bigger. The possibilities are broader. The storage is abundant. And the quality is evident throughout. Welcome to your Renaissance.
