Waterloo, IL 62298
This is the kind of opportunity that doesn't come along every day: a home on acreage, perched on the peaceful outskirts of Waterloo. Sitting on 3.49 acres of flat, usable ground, it's the best of "convenient country" living — wide-open space that's still just minutes from shopping, restaurants, schools, and highways.
Dreaming of even more room? You can purchase both parcels together for over 7 acres of prime Waterloo real estate. And with no HOA, the land is yours to enjoy your way — bring the RV, the boats, and all the toys, and yes, welcome the horses, goats, and chickens too. 🐴
Car enthusiast, hobbyist, or in need of serious storage? You'll love the oversized detached garage, complete with concrete floors and electric.
Inside, the home is full of character and potential. The main level offers hardwood floors throughout (ready for refinishing), a cozy eat-in kitchen, a comfortable living room, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Upstairs, a finished attic space is listed as a versatile third bedroom — bonus square footage above and beyond the home's 840 sq ft on record.
Offered as-is/where-is, this home is ready for a little TLC to make it cute as a button. The seller has never lived here and isn't aware of seller disclosure details, so we'd encourage buyers to verify the home's features and systems during due diligence. That said, the home appears to have several nice updates already in place — plumbing, electric with circuit breakers, thermal windows, and a refreshed bathroom (buyer to verify). The ages of the roof, HVAC, water heater, and similar items are unknown. The property also includes a propane tank (owned), an aeration system, and is connected to public water.
The beauty here is the possibility. Give the existing home a little love and make it your own charming country retreat — or start fresh, clear the lot, and build the custom dream home you've always envisioned. Either way, the potential is wide open.
Note: The adjoining 3.64-acre parcel with a classic red barn is also available for $99,999 (MLS# 26048788 | acreage-on-maeystown.com). Ask us about owning both!
