Peace & Quiet Awaits 4-6BR/3.5BA Near State Park Lake & Golf

      Lots of thought went into planning and building this home as we intended on living in it forever -not to sell.  Originally listed by real estate for $263,500.

      LARGE 3400+ FINISHED SQUARE FOOT, BRICK AND VINYL SIDED, 4-6 BEDROOMS, 3.5 BATH, 3 CAR GARAGE HOME WITH PROFESSIONALLY LANDSCAPED FRONT BRICKPAVED SIDEWALK AND BACK BRICKPAVED STEPS LEADING FROM DECK DOWN TO WALKOUT AREA ON A BEAUTIFULLY WOODED, PRIVATE .83 ACRE ROLLING HILLS LOT IN NEWER SUBDIVISION AT THE END OF THE CUL-DE-SAC WITH UNDERGROUND UTILITIES.  

       Home is conveniently located 15 miles north of Vandalia, IL and I-70, just off HWY 51 between Vandalia and Pana.  Located within 15 min. to  2 - 18 hole golf courses, 1 mile to 9 hole course, and 2-3 miles to Ramsey Lake State Park. This home features lots of windows for tons of natural light and for terrific views of nature and wildlife. Home has leased LP gas tank, city water and private septic aeration system.   

      Entering the first floor with over 1500 Sq. Ft. is the large foyer which is open to the Dining/Sitting room with wood floors and vaulted and treyed ceilings, you are greeted with a sunroom type atmosphere with the arched front window.  Straight ahead you will enter the open Kitchen and Great Room great for entertaining.  Kitchen features lots of natural hickory cabinets and window bench, breakfast bar and solid surface countertops.  Great Room features corner brick fireplace and 2 story vaulted ceiling open to stairs and 2nd story landing. Also on the main level is the Master Bedroom with regular closet and walk in closet with convenient opening into laundry area and master Bath with cherry cabinets, 6ft jacuzzi tub and separate 4ft shower. A 1/2 bath is also located off the foyer and garage entry area. Finishing out the main level is the laundry area.

      The second level with 700+ Sq. Ft., has an open landing to the Great room and Kitchen below. You will find 3 nice sized bedrooms, a full bath and a convenient laundry chute. 

      The Lower basement level, with over 1100+ finished Sq. Ft. and another 400+ unfinished, has been an entertainment haven for our children.  With its large family room area which has ample room for a pool table or other game tables and an adjacent area we use as a computer area but is plumbed for a kitchenette, there is lots of room to gather.  The 9 foot basement walls and 9 foot french door, along with lots of windows and drywalled ceilings, makes this not feel like a basement at all.  In fact, its 1500+ square feet could be a whole separate living space.  Also included on this level is another bath room with a 4ft. shower, and a large furnace room which houses the gas furnace, gas water heater, water softener and sump pump and tons of storage.  Two other rooms are located down here and could be used for a multitude of possibilities - currently they are used as a playroom and an exercise room.  Both of the rooms could be additional bedrooms or one room would make a great HOME THEATRE ROOM.  The possibilities are endless on this level.  (And to think we originally were not going to finish the basement - we don't know what we would do with out it!!)

      This home truly is one of a kind. YOU MUST SEE IT TO REALLY APPRECIATE THE BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS AND THE POSSIBILITIES THAT ARE OFFERED HERE!!  Whether you are retiring and want a peaceful home to settle into or if you are raising a family and want lots of space that is private and has area to roam, you have found the right one!!  Don't miss out, please contact us if you want any additional information or pictures.  The pictures just can't do justice for what you are actually getting.
