A skylight fills the adjacent den and laundry area with natural light. The main bath showcases a charming antique tub that has been powder-coated for a fresh look, paired with a unique vessel sink and vintage mirror.
The spacious primary suite offers a vaulted ceiling, shiplap detail, a large closet with triple barn doors, and an adjoining bath with updated fixtures and windows. Outside, relax on the large wraparound porch or unwind on the deck just off the kitchen and dining area.
The barn provides endless possibilities for storage (conveyed as-is), hobbies, or workshop space, and parking is conveniently located off the alley or within the barn. Location & value are everything, and this home delivers. Enjoy unbeatable walkability to Oswego's vibrant downtown, where you'll find local restaurants, antique shops, a charming barbershop, flower shop, and a fantastic library along Waubonsee Creek.
