Just minutes from Rend Lake, sits a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath bungalow on a 1 acre corner lot. It includes a detached 2 car garage with an attached shed/work area, and in the back yard sits a large concrete pad with a drain system in place that was used for dog kennels. The floors have recently been jacked up and levelled, and the tilt-in windows are newer, and also has newer vinyl siding. There is an enclosed front porch on the front for you to sit and enjoy your coffee in the mornings and evenings. The propane tank is for the gas stove, which is the only gas fueled appliance in the home. The rooms in this home are all large, you don't want to miss out on this one!
