Don't let this one fool you! This 1.5-story Cape Cod-style home with cedar-shingle siding is full of charm, character, and thoughtful updates. Located on 1st Street, just moments from downtown DeKalb, you're steps from parks, the Kishwaukee trail, and shopping. The owner began a careful renovation but was relocated out of state-so you get the benefit of the completed work without the price tag of a full remodel. Step inside to an inviting entryway with a sweet built-in and roomy coat closet. The living room features a large picture window, hardwood floors, and high ceilings that make the space feel bright and open. A brand-new main-floor bedroom and full bath were rebuilt from the studs up. The large eat-in kitchen still needs some love-unless you're a fan of bold orange and vintage wallpaper! Main-floor laundry adds convenience. Upstairs, you'll find two good-sized bedrooms with ample closet space and a beautifully finished full bath featuring a travertine tile shower. The full basement provides great storage options. A covered breezeway leads to the 2-car garage, accessible from the alley. Tear-off roof (2022), Chimney rebuilt (2022), New electrical throughout, Recessed lighting in bedrooms & bathrooms, HVAC updated in 2020. This diamond in the rough needs only cosmetic finishing touches-all the major work has already been done for you!
