Spacious and full of character, this 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom two-story home offers beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The main level features a bedroom, full bath, and convenient laundry area, along with a separate dining room and a cozy living room complete with a gas fireplace. Upstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms, a generous 10x7 walk-in closet, and plenty of storage space. The impressive detached 2.5-car garage (30x24) includes a loft, 17-foot peak ceilings, two 7-foot doors, a wood burner, and French doors opening to the backyard. Outdoor living is a highlight here. Relax on the L-shaped 19x7 screened-in porch, enjoy the 30' above-ground heated pool (installed in 2020), or entertain under the 14x12 screened gazebo with power, ceiling fan, and deck overlooking a peaceful pond. A fire pit area adds the perfect finishing touch. Furnace and A/C were both replaced in 2023

"This Old House For Sale" by Bill Myers~ Let me introduce "this old house" at 1050 State St. on the south side of Ottawa. This old house has a family friendly personality and a heart filled with love and laughter. True, it is old, but in pretty darn good shape (just like the owner of 45 years. ) 4-5 or even 6 bedrooms if you have an abundance of kids. This old house loves to watch kids' games and gatherings from it's L-shaped screened in porch. Deep back yard and double lot side yard. Great 2.5 car garage with storage loft, Franklin stove and in-door and out-door basketball hoops. Walking distance to excellent McKinley School. Great neighbors who live and let live. Secluded screen house with deck, pond and waterfall behind the garage. This old house loves to ship kids off to a movie on a Sunday afternoon and provide some warm cuddling moments for Mommy and Daddy. This old house loves to tell stories of the family adventures that occur here.
