About this home
Escape to the peace and privacy of country living without sacrificing convenience! Situated on 17 wooded acres just five minutes from town, this nearly 4,600-square-foot custom home offers space, character, and countless amenities. The home features 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a spacious main-level primary suite with a walk-in closet and a beautifully remodeled ensuite bath (2026). Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, two large storage rooms, and an impressive 17' x 26' bonus room-perfect for a playroom, media room, home office, or guest room. Natural light fills the home through seven skylights, highlighting the premium hardwood floors. The living room features a cozy gas and electric fireplace. The kitchen offers granite countertops, while the main floor also includes a laundry room, laundry chute, and one of the home's most unique features-a small hidden closet tucked behind a bookcase. The fully finished walk-out basement includes two additional bedrooms, expansive living space, and a convenient second kitchen area complete with an additional oven, sink, and refrigerator, making it ideal for entertaining, hosting guests, or multi-generational living. Step outside to enjoy your own private retreat. Relax on the new deck (2023), soak in the backyard hot tub, or spend the afternoon fishing in the well-stocked 6-acre pond, home to largemouth bass, catfish, bluegill, and grass carp. Fed by five natural springs, the pond is a stunning focal point of the property. With plenty of open space, there's also room for a garden, hobby farm, or even chickens. Additional highlights include an insulated two-car garage, circular driveway, 126-foot well, and numerous major updates, including a newer furnace and A/C (2022), water heater (2024), attic insulation (2025), and remodeled primary bath (2026). If you've been dreaming of a private country estate with modern updates, abundant wildlife, your own fishing pond, room to roam, and one-of-a-kind features, this exceptional Watseka property is ready to welcome you home!...
