Enjoy beautiful views from the spacious kitchen, large living areas, deck, or screened-in porch.

Located: 20 minutes from Monmouth, IL; 25 minutes from Galesburg, IL; and 35 minutes from Macomb, IL.

You will have the entire house to yourself. This timberframe home is 4,500 sq ft and was built on the top of a hill overlooking a valley and woods. It was built with reclaimed barn beams from one of my great Grandpa's barns and insulated concrete walls surrounding most of the house. The home has a whole house audio system with speakers in different locations on the upper level and main level. You can connect your own mp3 player or phone to play music in several rooms or use our CD player to play CDs from a large classical music collection.

The main level has 1800 sq ft of living space. The master bedroom is located on this level and has a king size bed, walk-in closet, and master bathroom with a shower and a whirlpool tub. There is also a small bedroom with 2 toddler beds and a large pack 'n play that can be used as a crib. Besides the bedrooms, there is also a large modern kitchen, mudroom, laundry room, 1/2 bathroom, and large living/dining area with wood burning fireplace and vaulted ceiling that is 30 ft to the peak of the roof. From the open living/dining area, you can walk out to a screened-in porch that overlooks the valley. This entire main level is accessible from the garage with no steps required.

On the upper level, there is 900 sq ft of living space. There is a bathroom with a shower. Next to the bathroom are two different bedrooms. Both bedrooms are enclosed with a door and walls, but two of the walls do not go completely to the vaulted ceiling. Please see pictures. One bedroom has a queen size bed, desk and dresser. The other bedroom has a queen size bed, chair, and dresser. There is also a loft reading area with a large selection of books and another open room on the east side of the house with a table and older TV with a dvd player.

The lower level is a partially finished 1800 sq ft walk-out basement with a large bedroom with 4 twin beds, walk-in closet, bathroom with tub/shower, large play room with toys and mini basketball hoops, and large room with couches, TV, music keyboard, and games/puzzles. The storage room is locked and not available for use. From the walk-out basement, you can access a concrete patio which is underneath the screened-in porch. There is an outdoor fire pit near the patio.

Our property has a variety of things to do outside: deck with Traeger wood pellet grill, screened-in porch, outdoor fire pit, trails through the woods, large playground equipment, large grass areas to play soccer/kickball/football/baseball, large concrete area with basketball hoop, and hills for sledding.

It is quite common to see wildlife on our property, including deer or turkey. The house and property are very peaceful and quiet due to its remote location. It is between 15 - 30 miles to Monmouth, Galesburg, or Macomb. Please note that the property is located on a county maintained gravel road. We also have an outdoor security camera to monitor the front door area.
