56 Fernwood Rd, Montgomery, IL 60538
About this home
Charming, redone, and tons of potential! This 3 bed, 1 bath, +den ranch has been given a lovely facelift w/ fresh paint and carpet. Much more space here than meets the eye! Large living area with tons of natural light, separate dining area and separate laundry room with storage. Main bedroom at the rear of the home is spacious and private, separated by a sunny den that could be ideal for an office/ indoor plant room or play area. French doors open from the den to a backyard with mature trees and plenty of space for a garden, swingset, or even a pool. Two outbuildings serve as additional storage. One building is quite large, and is wired with an electrical panel-a fantastic possible work-shop or exterior office setup but would need extensive repairs and remodeling. The entire backyard is fenced, with a separately fenced, large side yard which could be ideal for a dog-run or even a large, protected garden. Attached one-car garage offers even more in the way of storage and functionality of this home. Truly made for the hobby enthusiast. Large, concrete driveway could fit at least 5 cars as well. There are so many possibilities here! Add your finishing touches to really make this home shine.
