Completely Renovated Home in Unincorporated Frankfort This 4 bedroom home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and natural beauty on 2.27 acres of land, featuring mature woods, a meandering creek, and open space to enjoy—just south of Route 30 on River Road. While built on the original footprint, this home underwent a total transformation in 2020–2021, including all-new windows, doors, siding, insulation, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, drywall, flooring, lighting, bathrooms, kitchen, and more! Finally, a brand-new roof was installed in September 2023, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. The spacious layout includes an unfinished partial basement, ideal for storage. Outdoors, you’ll find a 2+ car garage plus a tool shed and plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the natural setting. Inside, you’ll find tray and cathedral ceilings and a kitchen featuring premium THOR appliances (all appliances included). Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home with land, privacy, and character—all within minutes of shopping, dining, and top-rated schools. * Disclosure, owner/seller is an IL Real Estate Designated Managing Broker * * * 2024 (payable 25) property taxes were $4170 * * Seller's note: "When we moved in, we expected a beautiful house — but what we found was a community. Our neighbors quickly became more than friends; they became family. Whether it’s sharing a meal, lending a helping hand when a mower won’t start, or caring for our pets when we’re away, there’s always someone ready to step in with kindness. We’ve loved hosting gatherings in our spacious front yard — graduation parties, summer cookouts, and impromptu get-togethers that always seem to bring people closer. The neighborhood itself is full of life, with occasional block parties (some even with live music!) where everyone shows up to connect, and enjoy the evening together. Out back, a gentle creek offers a playful escape and endless fun for grandkids and kids from church. They love wading through the water and searching for hidden “treasures” — often golf balls that have been carried downstream. From our home office windows, we watch the woods come alive: deer passing quietly, chipmunks darting through the trees, and herons and ducks fishing in the stream. This home has given us the best of both worlds — the stillness of nature and the warmth of community. We’ll miss it dearly, but we’re excited for someone else to make their own memories here as we follow our children closer to their college town. "
