This large, all brick ranch was custom designed and built for former DeKalb Mayor and IL State Representative Joe Ebbesen. It boasts a 2500+ square ft home on an almost half acre lot in the desirable Town & County Estates Subdivision on DeKalb's North side. The home features a large Living and combined dining room with plenty of space to entertain, large eat in kitchen, rear den with custom fire place, 3 large bedrooms, first floor laundry, and 2.5 baths. Full unfinished basement is a great blank slate for rec areas, work shop, or storage areas. There is also a 2 car attached garage, and large concrete driveway for plenty of off street parking. Covered patio on the east keeps you out of the weather or enjoy the sunshine on a large concrete patio overlooking the back yard! The home is in need of some updating and is being offered AS-IS but would make the perfect home to move in and update as you go! This one won't last long priced under $300k.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
