Set in DeKalb's Heartland Fields neighborhood, just steps from the high school, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath two-story has already checked off the big-ticket items for its next owner. A welcoming front porch and landscaped lot lead into an open concept main level with hardwood flooring throughout and modern neutral decor. There's plenty of room to spread out, with a large living room, a formal dining room, and a spacious family room that flows into the eat-in kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and a slider to the fenced backyard and paver patio. Upstairs, new carpet runs through all three bedrooms, including the vaulted primary suite with a lighted ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and private bath. Bedroom 2 has its own walk-in closet, and the second floor laundry room means no more hauling baskets up and down the stairs. The full finished basement adds even more living space, and the 2-car attached garage keeps the cars out of the Illinois winter. The updates are the kind that matter: stove and refrigerator in 2025, commercial water heater and dishwasher in 2023, and HVAC in 2022 with a 10-year warranty. The sale even includes 2-3 visits from Orkin pest control. NIU, Sycamore Road shopping and dining, and I-88 are all a short drive away.
