Located just steps from the NIU campus and downtown DeKalb, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath two-story home offers incredible potential for investors or buyers looking to put in some sweat equity. Originally rehabbed in 2020-2021, the property features many big-ticket updates, including a tear-off roof, updated 100 AMP electric service, copper plumbing, newer hot water heater, and garage roof. The bathrooms were remodeled with ceramic tile, and the main floor offers a spacious layout with a large kitchen with table space, living room, separate dining room, and a flexible den space. There's also a charming enclosed front porch with loads of natural light-a great space for relaxing or entertaining. While the home could use some TLC and cosmetic refresh, its location and layout make it a promising opportunity. Whether you're looking for a rental property, a flip project, or a future primary residence near the university, this one is worth a look. Being sold as-is. Bring your vision and make it shine.
