About This Home
5-acre Equestrian property zoned AG in ideal Sycamore location. This 5-bedroom 3.5 bath home with in-ground pool is exceptionally located 3 minutes from downtown Sycamore or from shopping, dining, and medical care. You can enjoy all the activity Sycamore has to offer and escape to your country retreat and horses within minutes. This 3,100 SF custom quality construction home was well designed with functionality in mind. When entering the home from the 2-car heated attached garage after riding your horse you no longer have to board you step into the tiled mudroom to take off your dusty boots and can clean up in the full bathroom right off the mudroom or step into the Great Room. The bathroom is also ideally positioned by a sliding glass door for easy access to the backyard pool area. The Great Room is in the hearth of the home and features exposed wood beams, a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, and bay window overlooking the bustle of town just beyond the mature trees and landscaping. The Great room is open to the country kitchen and large living room so even when preparing and sharing meals with family and friends everyone feels together even in the large space. A formal dining room off of the Kitchen is perfect for the holidays and opens to a Sunroom which overlooks and provides access to your own summer retreat with in-ground pool just waiting for you to make memories in on a long hot summer day. Tucked away past the stairs and powder room on the 1st floor is the Master Suite, a rarity to find in many farm homes. Hickory floors cover the floor in the spacious bedroom and walk-in closet and the large bathroom has a walk-in shower providing accessibility for whatever stage in life you are in. Upstairs are 4 more spacious bedrooms and a bathroom so everyone in your household can have their own space. A full basement provides loads of storage. This home has been exceptionally cared for, maintained, and loved since it was built in 1963 and has many recent improvements. The roof is less than a year old, as is the furnace. The pool has had a new liner, filter, pump, and cover all installed in the last 3 years. This property really shines outside the home as well. A separate drive from Bethany Rd goes right up to the horse barn with 4 double stalls, tack room, and hay storage. New fencing line the pastures and riding areas providing your hoofed best friend a safe comfortable home. You can enjoy country views that stretch for miles from the back of your horse in your backyard or watch the sunset from a rocking chair on the front porch. Schedule a showing so you can see all the opportunities this property has to offer to you. Additional acreage is available for purchase if desired.
