If proximity to local advantages is a priority, then you must come see this charming 1/2 duplex in the Beechwood Commons area of Normal. Merely a "jiffy" from the natural allurements of multiple parks, the shopping/dining options of Uptown Normal, town center, and schools(Fairview Elementary & Prairieland Elementary), you won't be spending a lot of time in transit to key local amenities. After your local excursions, you'll return to the appeal of 1/2 duplex design, in a well-established neighborhood where the low-traffic streets are lined by sidewalks. Out front, the driveway has ample room for visitors' parking. The low-maintenance, attractively landscaped yard is as easy on the eyes as on the back. An inviting platform for grilling and fun, the good-as-new pressure-treated wood deck is always ready for the resident grill master. Also in the yard there is a 4 Seasons room. Imagine waking up every morning in a home that features hardwood flooring (entryway, living areas, kitchen, and main bedroom), sunlight, neutral colors, open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and a gas fireplace in the living room. The sunlit gourmet kitchen is configured in a U-shape, which is ideal for roominess and for accommodating multiple cooks (or visitors). The granite countertops are exceptional. The en-suite primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor. The private bathroom includes a walk-in shower. An attached garage is especially convenient in bad weather. This one is available for its original purpose or for use as additional flex space. The finished basement offers additional living space and the forth bedroom. Rough in for an addition bathroom is there and ready for you to take it to the next level of comfort. Furnace and water heater were installed in 2019, air-conditioner and dishwasher new summer of 2023. The HOA provides yard maintenance, snow removal, a pool and green space to hang out or play games.
