77 Main Street

Welcome to 77 Main Street in Saunemin, Illinois-an exceptionally well maintained 1,470 sq ft brick bungalow that blends timeless 1920s charm with thoughtful, modern updates. This inviting home offers a spacious enclosed front porch, beautiful cherry woodwork, original hardwood floors, classic built ins, and a refreshed kitchen featuring newer windows, painted cabinetry, wood countertops, and an updated backsplash. The bathroom has been tastefully renovated with ceramic subway tile surrounding the preserved cast iron tub, and newer light fixtures brighten the dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms. Major improvements include a new house roof (2020), updated plumbing and central A/C (2021), septic and drainage upgrades, and a professionally installed French drain system that ensures a dry basement. The full basement also features two brand new sump pumps, each with its own backup battery, while the exterior includes brand new oversized gutters, newer fencing, updated landscaping, and a small outside shed for added storage. This flexible 2 bedroom, 1 bath layout allows for easy recreation of a third bedroom where a wall was previously removed or expansion into the full attic for additional living space. A rare highlight is the dual garage setup: a front 1 car garage with Main Street access and a rear 2 car garage, both with brand new roofs and new garage doors, with the rear garage offering extra comfort thanks to its built in wood burning fireplace and wall A/C unit. The property also includes a functional original 1920s garage sold as is. Adding remarkable value, the home features a fully paid off solar panel system with 18 years of warranty remaining, resulting in an average electric cost of approximately $20 per month. Conveniently located near Route 47, Route 116, I 55, Amtrak access, and served by Saunemin Grade School and Pontiac High School, this home is rich with character, updates, efficiency, and potential.
