Property Description

Set along historic Route 66 on nearly an acre of land, this thoughtfully maintained Braceville home delivers the kind of space, privacy, and character that's becoming increasingly hard to find. From the moment you step inside, the soaring two-story living room and dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace create an unforgettable first impression - equal parts cozy retreat and statement-making centerpiece. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, the 1.5-story layout offers over 1,800 square feet with a highly sought-after first-floor primary suite complete with a whirlpool tub, separate shower, double sinks, walk-in closet and the ease of main-level living. A versatile and open floor plan adds flexibility for a playroom or hobby area or traditional separate living and dining spaces, while two additional bedrooms and full bathrooms provide room for family and guests alike. The U-shaped kitchen is designed for everyday living and entertaining, featuring high-end stainless steel appliances, abundant counter space and a built-in workstation tucked beside the breakfast nook - perfect for managing busy mornings, homework or working from home without missing the heart of the home! Outside, the lifestyle truly shines. The expansive deck overlooks a peaceful backyard designed for both relaxation and recreation, complete with raised garden beds, a sandbox, trampoline, and zipline. Whether hosting summer gatherings, enjoying quiet evenings under the stars or simply savoring the extra breathing room that comes with acreage, this property offers the kind of outdoor living buyers dream about. Major updates provide added peace of mind, including a new roof and gutters (2023), new 100+ ft well (2023), on-demand hot water heater (2023) and conversion from propane to natural gas. The attached 2.5-car garage with epoxy flooring adds both polish and practicality, while wireless security cameras and video doorbell bring modern convenience to country-style living. Ideally located near the outdoor recreation of the Mazonia-Braidwood State Fish and Wildlife Area and Braidwood Lake, this home offers the perfect balance of small-town tranquility and adventure just minutes away. Homes offering this combination of land, updates, lifestyle amenities, and distinctive character rarely come available at this price point.

MY BLOGS

Vacant Land Scams are REAL

My Recent Experience with an Unauthorised Land Seller About 6 months ago, I received an email from (let's call him) Charlie. A "nothing out of the ordinary" email from a common (and mildly validating) charlie.....@hotmail stating: "I have owned the lot for many years, but a couple of years ago I moved from Illinois to California, and I would like to sell the lot. If you could please provide me with a market valuation, that would be great. We are looking to make a quick decision on this. Thank you, Charlie"

THE FRONT PORCH SWING

Oh, the memories. I remember my girls spending countless hours swinging front to back and side to side, hanging out with the neighborhood kids, splashing with the water hose, or crafting top-secret plans with their imaginations. It was awesome. How times have changed. With my two youngest girls slowly nearing college graduation and my older girls working hard in their careers, the days of simple life are taken over by group texts and long-distance daily check-ins. It's just not the same.

less is more, unless, it's for less.

Each day, I'd get my MLS home showing sheets ready, the electronic key card that opens lock-boxes, get dressed with minutes turning into seconds frantically starring at the time ticking away. All ready but just need to ...find ....one matching sock.
