House

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

I am in the process of buying a house in Cordova. I close on November 16th, maybe a week earlier.

25322 178th Ave. N.
Cordova, IL 61242

The house sits on two acres with no neighbors to speak of. There are mature Pine trees that block out most of the road, a neighboring field, and part of the field in the back. There is a 27 ft dia. above ground pool in the backyard, it is no “Flamingo,” but it will do for now. As you walk in the front door, on your left is a closet, and on your right is the 19X14 Living Room with the current owners’ furniture in it. To the left of the Living Room, is a 12X10 Dining Room. To the left from there is an entrance to the 18X11.5 Kitchen that can also be accessed from the main entrance by going straight instead of going through the Living Room. From the Kitchen, you can see the sliding glass doors that go to the backyard, and you can see down into the lower level 13X22 Family Room where there is a wood burning fireplace. You would take a left down the stairs after coming in the main entrance to get to the lower level Family Room. There is also a set of stairs that leads to the upper level of the house. The first door on the left is the 10X7 Main Bath. It is the only “Full Bath” in the house. I didn’t take a pic of the shower/bath tub. The blue sink is my favorite. The first door on the right is a 10X10 Bedroom, and the next door on the right is a 10.5X11 Bedroom. The last door on the left is the 12.5X13.5 Master Bedroom. The Master Bedroom has three closets and a 7X5 3/4 Bath Master Bathroom with another blue sink. Back down the stairs, to the main level, and down some more to the lower level. If you keep left at the bottom of the stairs, you will make your way into the 15X11 Laundry/Utility Room, and behind that is another 3/4 Bath. If you head back to the lower level family room, you will see another set of stairs leading to the basement. The first door on the left is a 7.5X8 partially finished Office. The door on the right is another 9.5X11 Office/Bedroom. If you go straight through the hall from the stairs, it opens up to an 18X25 Rec. Room where I plan to support it differently to move those posts out, and put in a Pool Table. I will have a Ping Pong Table down there for now. That’s about it for the house. They are leaving the Dishwasher, Refrigerator, Washer, and Dryer with the house so that’s nice too. The thing I like most is the yard, and the fact that my neighbors are fields. If you look right out of the driveway you see this. If you look left you see this. I hate the majority of people so this is perfect.
