Welcome to your private retreat in the heart of rural Marengo! This spacious and beautifully updated ranch sits on over an acre of professionally landscaped and partially wooded land-offering privacy, tranquility, and room to roam. Featuring 3 main-floor bedrooms, plus a 4th bedroom or office in the finished basement, and 3.1 baths, this home has space for everyone. The open layout boasts hardwood floors, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a cozy fireplace, and a large kitchen with breakfast bar and pantry. The finished basement includes a huge family room, gym, laundry room, full bath, and another space-perfect for guest bedroom (Bedroom #4) or a home office. Outside, enjoy the patio, fire pit, mature trees, and a storage shed. Attached 2.5-car garage, newer mechanicals, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. Easy access to I-90, Route 47, and nearby Metra makes commuting a breeze. Just minutes from town, but with the peace of country living. A must-see to fully appreciate! Seller would love a September Closing if possible. **Please NOTE that seller is taking both the Kitchen fridge and garage fridge, both deep freezers, the speed queen washer & dryer, and the reverse osmosis water filter and the chicken house- Hence why they are not listed**
