301 S Kennedy Street Martinton, IL 60951

Welcome to 301 South Kennedy Street in Martinton, Illinois. If you've been looking for a property that gives you the space and privacy of country living, without giving up the conveniences of town, this one deserves your attention. Sitting on 6.83 acres, this custom-built home offers approximately 3,180 square feet of living space, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a loft, and an office nook. And from the moment you arrive, you'll realize this isn't your typical property. Outside, you have a huge 10-by-40-foot front porch, along with two additional 10-by-30-foot side porches-giving you plenty of space to sit outside, entertain, and enjoy the property. Inside, the kitchen features beautiful maple cabinetry, a 48-inch range, and a 48-inch refrigerator, giving you the space and equipment for some serious cooking and entertaining. The home also features a natural-gas ventless fireplace, two built-in wall safes, and some impressive mechanical upgrades. The attached 30-by-30-foot heated garage features full-view glass garage doors and heated, dual-zone concrete floors powered by a Navien boiler and water-heater combination system. Upstairs, you have a separate furnace and central air system, giving you additional comfort and temperature control throughout the home. But what really separates this property from so many others is everything you get outside the house. There's a massive 40-by-80-foot outbuilding and shop with concrete floors-perfect for a business, equipment, vehicles, hobbies, storage, or just about anything else you can imagine. And when the work is done, you have your own pond for swimming, complete with patio pavers and a fire pit. There's even a grain-bin storage building that adds to the character and functionality of the property. And here's another feature I really like about this home. You get the country setting and nearly seven acres, but you still have city water and natural gas. The home is on a private septic system, so in many ways, you really do get the best of both worlds-the space and privacy of the country with some of the conveniences you'd normally expect in town.
