De Kalb, US
Has the country life been calling, but you don't really need hundreds of acres, silos, and grain bins. This Sandwich Road farmette is the perfect solution. Located on 3.48 acres, this ideal hobby farm is only two miles north of town. The extremely private location has a row of evergreens to shield from the road and is hemmed in by woods on two sides while backing to Somonauk Creek. The beautiful yard has a park-like feel. Mature trees, flagstone paths, and split rail fences guide you along the gardens abounding with perennials and songbirds. Enjoy the sunsets on the backyard deck, patio space, or from the refreshing inground pool. The farmette has 3 buildings on the grounds. A 24x45 outbuilding at the end of the drive has an 11ft wide door that is 12ft tall. This building has 100 amp service, concrete floor, and a spacious insulated workshop built into the back half of the building. A 24x40 barn with water and electric features two horse stalls and four additional pens. The current owner used the pens for their show goats. A 12x20 run-in shelter is near this barn. Other farm components include the chicken coop, pasture, turn-out areas, and a garden. Nothing needs to be done; bring your animals on day one! The freshly remodeled brick and cedar home includes four nicely sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms (all with radiant floor heating) spread out over approximately 3,300 finished square feet! The cream colored vertical board and baton, expresso shingles, and dark trimmed windows provide a clean, modern farmhouse-look. The roof was installed this summer! The exterior was painted 2022. Much of the interior has been freshly painted. Bamboo hardwood floors and ceramic tile comprise the flooring throughout the home. A spacious open floor plan is perfect for entertaining. Guests can flow from the Great Room and Living Room through the Kitchen and right out on the deck! Included in the kitchen are Shaker style cabinets, granite counters, and SS appliances. The home has 2 gorgeous fireplace walls; one in the Living Room and one in the lower level Family Room. Custom work has been added throughout the home. Some of the most evident places include the mud room wall with built in cubbies, the laundry room, and the built in bookcase wall at the back of the family room. Come experience all the country life has to offer at this wonderful farmette on Sandwich Road.
