New Baden, IL 62265

Come see in person what this 2-bedroom ranch in the heart of New Baden has to offer. This property has a whole new look since it last sold in 2020. Like most homes built in the 1930's this house used to have the walk in a circular motion through all main level rooms in its old floor plan. The owners liked the potential of this house but knew a makeover would make them love it instead. So, they tore most of the house down to the studs. That way they could eliminate some doorways and make the house more user friendly. The first bonus surprise they came across was the original ceiling height. So, they took advantage of that to help most of the rooms feel larger with the 2 extra feet of height. Next step was to shrink the center hallway/foyer space to help enhance the primary bedroom. Now the bedroom space has a walk-in closet with built-in shelving and just one entrance door instead of two. The second bedroom had an exterior door space closed up, an interior door removed, a second tiny closet eliminated, plus an old window in an interior wall taken away. Now this space has options to work around the newly added blank wall space. The laundry room even has a decent little space for a small office to be set up without losing a bedroom. The changes didn't stop on the inside of the home. The second bedroom just got a new rubber roof put on. Since it has a lower pitch to it. The garage used to have a carport. It was removed, footings and concrete poured, electric run underground, & ready for the owner to decide home to move ahead with it. The owners have plans for what they were going to do. Plans are in the kitchen to view during showings. They decided to let the next owners put their own finishing touches with the garage. The completion is not in terms of the sales price. But it could be added if the new owners would like to explore those options.
