Tucked onto a cul-de-sac near White Oak Park, this 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom split-level home puts you close to a one-mile paved trail around the lake, a playground, covered picnic areas, and soccer and baseball fields. Rivian, Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University are all just minutes away. Inside, the upper level is built around an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings that connect the kitchen, dining and living rooms into one open, airy space. The kitchen has a breakfast bar for casual meals and opens to a spacious deck, making it easy to move between cooking, dining and entertaining outdoors. In the living room, a gas fireplace adds a cozy focal point (sold as-is, not used by the sellers). The large primary suite also has vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with a garden tub and a separate shower, a comfortable place to unwind at the end of the day. An additional bedroom and a half bathroom complete the upper level. Downstairs, a large family room offers flexible space for movie nights, game days or a home office. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a laundry room round out the lower level. Step out onto the spacious deck and take in the view of the large, fenced back yard, framed by mature trees. The pie-shaped lot is about 0.3 acre, and a small garden area just outside the fence is ready for your garden. The attached 2-car garage enters on the ground level. The big-ticket updates are done: the roof was replaced in March 2026, and the HVAC system was installed in 2026. The owned rooftop solar array, 10.56 kW with 33 panels, panel-level optimizers and production monitoring, was reinstalled on the new roof in May 2026. Owned solar means you control your electric bill, with no lease or power purchase agreement to take over, and clean energy generated right from your own roof. The sellers' electric statements from October 2025 through August 2026 averaged about $10.70 per month (actual bills vary), and solar documents and statements are available for interested buyers. Come see how cul-de-sac living, a park nearby and solar savings come together. Schedule your showing today!
