About this home

Escape to your own 5-acre farmette in Monroe Center, IL, ideal for homesteading, raising animals, and embracing a self-sufficient lifestyle. This 5-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse, built in 1888, combines historic charm with modern updates, including a new roof (2022), water softener (2023), furnace (2023), and a whole-house Generac generator for dependable off-grid potential. The spacious kitchen, updated in 2024, features a KitchenAid stove, butcher block countertops, subway tile, and an industrial loft-style open ceiling-perfect for preparing farm-fresh meals. A first-floor bedroom with new carpet (installed in December 2024) adds convenience to this thoughtfully designed home. The property includes four outbuildings that offer great potential for a variety of uses, such as a workshop, garage, storage, or chicken house. However, these buildings require maintenance and repairs before they can be fully functional. An above-ground pool provides a relaxing retreat to complement the rural setting. Located just 4 minutes from I-39 and 15 minutes from I-90, this property offers the peace and privacy of country living with easy access to major routes. Ready to create your dream homestead? This farmette awaits its next caretakers!
