1500 Tonti Street

Welcome home to this immaculate all-brick 1 1/2-story home offering space, versatility, and exceptional value! The updated eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a pantry, new lighting, and a new sliding glass door with built-in blinds that open to a spacious deck with a gazebo-perfect for entertaining or relaxing while overlooking the large, private, fenced backyard with mature landscaping. The main floor boasts all new luxury vinyl flooring, with natural hardwood floors preserved in both main-floor bedrooms. A third room currently used as a den can easily serve as an additional bedroom, office, or flex space. The bright, spacious living room is filled with natural light and features a cozy corner gas fireplace for those chilly evenings. One of the home's standout features is the upper-level apartment with its own living space, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or rental income. Currently rented for $600 per month, the tenant pays all utilities except garbage and water. It can easily continue as an income-producing apartment or be incorporated back into the home as additional living space. The partially finished basement adds even more room to spread out with a large recreation room that could serve as a non-conforming bedroom(no egress window), a huge walk-in closet, a full bathroom, a dedicated craft area adjacent to the laundry, and a separate workshop. Additional features include a 2 1/2 car detached garage, gas forced-air heat on the main level, hot water steam heat upstairs, and meticulous maintenance throughout. The peaceful, beautifully landscaped backyard creates your own private retreat while remaining close to everything you need. Close to Starved Rock in Utica and Matthiessen Park.
