443 S Independence Street Monticello, IL 61856

Within the heart of Monticello, discover this charming bungalow style home ready for a new owner to share in its history and make new memories! The full, covered front porch welcomes you and would be perfect for a future porch swing! Enter into the living room, your eyes are drawn to the original hardwood floors that run throughout the entire main level. Large doorways still boast the original pocket doors to offer privacy within rooms. The separate dining room offers plenty of space for entertaining family/friends, homemade meals, or hours of game night and showcases a brick-faced fireplace with rustic wood accents. Kitchen cabinets have been painted for a fresh look, and has a pass-through opening to the dining room for convenience serving! The Master bedroom includes a walk-in closet and connects directly to the main level bathroom that was given a full remodel in 2015. The second bedroom rounds out the first floor. Head downstairs to the basement family room with another brick-faced fireplace and natural wood mantel. The bonus room is ideal for a home office, playroom, or extra storage. Also, a sizeable 3rd bedroom is just off the laundry room, and has extra space for a pool table or TV area! The furnace was replaced in 2018. The back patio is suitable for patio furniture, outdoor grilling, and a firepit. The backyard is fully fenced-in and still offers grassy areas to run around or have a raised garden bed.
