917 Hillcrest ST Columbia, IL 62236

Nestled on a quiet dead-end street and backing to a serene treeline, this solid, one-owner all-brick ranch sits on nearly a third of an acre, offering the perfect blend of privacy and incredible potential. The main level features a semi-open floor plan with a spacious living room anchored by a cozy masonry wood-burning fireplace, flowing seamlessly into a large dining area that walks out to a bright sunroom cleverly converted for main-floor laundry convenience. Down the hall, you will find all three bedrooms, including a primary suite with an attached bath and walk-in shower, two additional generously sized guest bedrooms—one featuring custom built-in shelving—and a full hall bath equipped with a large jacuzzi tub. Parking and storage are a breeze with the large two-car garage, which uniquely features a direct interior stairwell leading down to a massive finished basement complete with an additional partially finished room and a sizable utility storage area. Outside, a large patio overlooks the expansive backyard, while big-ticket mechanical updates provide ultimate peace of mind, including a brand-new roof replaced this year, a newer HVAC system, and a tankless water heater. While this home does need some cosmetic updates, it is priced beautifully and represents a fantastic opportunity to bring your personal vision to a structurally rock-solid property. Home will be sold "as-is" and seller will not provide a passing occupancy, but this home is overall great shape and is true One-Owner. Agent related to seller.
