About this home
Welcome Home to 612 Russell Rd! Park Front Living with Major Infrastructure Peace of Mind. Perfectly positioned across the street from Welsh Park, this well-maintained split-level home offers a rare combination of location, space, and long-term value in a desirable DeKalb neighborhood. The home features generous living areas filled with natural light and a functional multi-level layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The main living space enjoys park-facing views, while the kitchen offers ample cabinetry, counter space, and a practical layout ready for personalization over time. This home includes three comfortable bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and flexible lower-level living space well-suited for a family room, home office, or recreation area. Hardwood flooring in the bedrooms adds warmth and character, while efficient three-zone hot water heating paired with central air conditioning provides year-round comfort and flexibility. The main sewer line to the county was replaced in 2019, a $20,000+ improvement that removes one of the biggest ownership risks in older homes.
