Description

The backyard you've been hoping for... and the house to match. If you've been searching for a home with space to spread out and a backyard you'll never want to leave, this one is worth a look. Situated on a large corner lot in Pleasant Hills, this well-cared-for bi-level has been lovingly maintained by the same family for the past 43 years. With 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, two primary suites (one on each level), a finished walk-out lower level and a side-load 2-car garage with access to both levels, there's plenty of room to fit a variety of living arrangements. The star of the show is the gorgeous in-ground POOL, completely rebuilt in 2020 and surrounded by lush landscaping, a sprawling patio and a fully fenced backyard that feels surprisingly private thanks to the mature trees and landscaping. The view is just as impressive from inside, too. The refreshed eat-in kitchen features a wall of windows overlooking the backyard, along with new flooring, paint, light fixtures, stainless steel appliances and a bright, open feel. The main level primary suite even has its own private balcony overlooking the pool. The finished walk-out lower level adds even more living space with a huge family room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, fourth bedroom with an en suite bath, an additional full bath and a laundry room with two oversized storage closets. The home has also received an extensive refresh, including fresh paint throughout (walls, ceilings, trim, doors, cabinets and fireplace), new Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring, brand new carpet in the bedrooms, updated light fixtures, new stainless steel stove and dishwasher, replacement bay window glass and refreshed landscaping. Located in the heart of Normal's popular Pleasant Hills neighborhood, you'll enjoy quick access to The Shoppes at College Hills, restaurants, grocery stores and everyday conveniences, all while attending sought-after Unit 5 Schools, including Colene Hoose Elementary. Homes with this combination of space, updates and an incredible backyard don't come along often. Your own private staycation starts here! Warning: You may never want to leave the backyard...
