So much more space than you expect in a 2-bedroom home! This well-cared-for, spacious ranch in Minonk is full of possibilities and ready for its next owner to bring their personal style and make it their own. Inside, you'll find generously sized living areas plus new bedroom carpet in 2026. But the space doesn't stop on the main level! The basement offers an incredible amount of additional usable space, including a large entertaining area, kitchenette, additional finished room, storage room, and laundry/utility area with a shower. Beautiful solid wood doors add character to the lower level. Step outside and you'll quickly see why the backyard may become one of your favorite features. The huge covered back deck has a ceiling light and plenty of room to create an inviting outdoor retreat with comfortable seating, a dining area, plants, and more. The deck leads to a spacious concrete patio, with a sidewalk continuing around to the front of the home. There's also a backyard shed, clothesline, and beautiful established lilac bushes lovingly nurtured by the previous owner. And here's a feature you don't find every day-a Generac generator is included with the home! Paperwork found in the home documents several major improvements, including a Prairie Home Alliance basement dewatering system installed in 2013, Generac generator installed in 2016, and water heater replaced in 2020. The furnace was replaced in December 2005. The family believes the roof and gutters were replaced approximately 2017-2018, although documentation for that work has not been located. A new front door was installed in 2026. Original home blueprints are also available on site. Located approximately one block from Fieldcrest Primary School, the home is situated in Minonk, a community with a mix of agriculture, manufacturing, construction, retail, and service businesses and convenient driving access to Pontiac, Bloomington-Normal, Peoria, and Rockford. Be sure to check out the bathroom inspiration image, included to illustrate one possible future renovation concept featuring removal of the existing window and the addition of a full tiled shower. Concept image only; renovation has not been completed. This is an estate being sold AS-IS. The home appears to have been very well cared for, but some areas of peeling paint may affect eligibility for certain government-backed financing programs; buyers should verify financing requirements with their lender. If you've been searching for a home with an unusual amount of space, fantastic outdoor-living potential, a versatile finished basement, and plenty of opportunity to add your own personal touches, don't overlook this one. Come see just how much this Minonk gem has to offer!
