About 610 South 2nd Street

This stunning 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,300 square feet of finished living space, blending the preserved charm of a traditional older home with modern efficiencies and features. The home has been extensively updated in the past few years. You'll love the welcoming front porch, charming foyer, original woodwork and trim, French doors, a built-in bay window seat on the staircase, and lead glass windows. Upon entering the foyer, the living room features hardwood floors and a beautiful set of French doors opening to the front porch. Another set of French doors connects the living and dining rooms, which boasts a lovely bay window and hardwood floors. The brand-new kitchen is exquisite, including newer Whirlpool appliances (range, dishwasher, microwave), custom cabinetry, granite countertops, tile flooring, and a built-in pantry unit. The kitchen leads down to a spacious family room with a vaulted ceiling, skylights, a fireplace (as is), and doors opening to an awesome paver patio with old brick pavers and a privacy-fenced yard. The laundry room (equipped for an electric dryer) offers access to the side yard and garage, and a half bath with a linen closet, completes the first floor. The intricate staircase leads to the impressive second level. Two of the four bedrooms share a luxurious Jack & Jill bath with pocket doors. One of these bedrooms includes a connecting 7x8 space, perfect for a home office, playroom, or homework area, and a large 5x6 walk-in closet with hardwood floors. The other has an 8x8 attached room that would make a great closet/dressing room and leads to the Jack & Jill bath. The remaining two spacious bedrooms could easily share the second full bath on this level; one has a regular-sized closet, and the other features an 11x5 walk-in closet. A new set of stairs provides access to the walk-up attic. The full, unfinished basement is easily accessible off the laundry room. The oversized 2-car detached, heated garage is drywalled, has a newer roof, a new wall-mounted heater, and a gorgeous brick paver driveway off the alley. The recently fenced yard provides desired privacy. This home is located in a desirable historic neighborhood with beautiful mature trees, on a rare historic brick paver street, close to downtown, and less than two blocks from Huntley Park. Easy access to Rt. 38, I-88, and Northern Illinois University.
