Main House Front View

As you drive up the driveway you notice that the 2 acres are completely fenced in. With mature trees and plenty of space for your activities you notice the brick ranch is situated far from the main road. You can imagine the trees in full bloom as you get out of your car and look around the lot.

Driveway Approach

 

You enter through the foyer and notice the hardwood floors in the living room and family room and out to the formal dining room. Off the foyer is a room with French doors that can easily be your private office. With some TLC this home can be a showcase.

Off the dining room you can see the inground swimming pool and 8 person hot tub.

Dining Room

Your imagination takes off and you can see yourself hosting a summer swimming party for your large family and friends. You can almost hear the squeels of delight from your nephews and nieces as they run around on the grounds and jump in the pool in delight.

You notice the full bath off the kitchen and then go up to the master bedroom suite.

The complete upstairs is finished and awaits your personal changes. Will you have a large sitting room? Perhaps a personal workout area? Or maybe you prefer having your office on this floor?

The master bathroom is an oasis worthy of your private fantasies and you can imagine having a candlelight bubble bath with your favorite jazz or classical music playing in the background.

  The bedroom area has plenty of space for your furniture and you can envision a few changes to make it even better.

As you leave you can easily see how this floor can become your personal haven. 

 You follow your agent who takes you through the kitchen which needs updating but the actual space will be easily upgraded to fit your needs. 

Main Kitchen

 

As you go through another door you find yourself in the 2nd home.  Your mind races with the possibilities - your eldest is having problems because of job hour cuts - temporary apartment at reduced rate?  Mom and Dad are getting older but not ready to give up their independence, perhaps they would like to live near by but have their own space?  Or you can reconfigure the space and add it to the main house?

2nd Living Room

 

Without a doubt you will have to do some repairs and replace carpeting, flooring and redo the kitchen but at this price it's definitely worth it!  What are your waiting for?

Call your agent or if you don't have an agent call me today!  Less than an hour from Chicago's Loop and minutes to Indiana this might be the best of both worlds! This is a short sale with a motivated bank ready to negotiate!  Bring us your offer and before spring is here you will be in your new private 2 acre retreat for less than $200,000.

Sam:

Thank you for your comment.  It's an interesting listing since it does need work but it can be such a beautiful home if someone has enough money to do the repairs and updates.  Unfortunately its on the high end for that area so we would need someone from Chicago that wants a large home on 2 acres since a 2 bedroom condo for 600 sq. ft. goes for $200K in Chicago's downtown neighborhoods (Loop,River North, W. Loop, S. Loop)
