1374 Manlove Street, Pontiac, IL 61764

Amazing quiet and peaceful park-like wooded setting for this solid built 5 bdrm/2 bath almost 2,000 sf solid block home on newly surveyed 6.21 acres with CITY WATER just South of the Livingston County Highway Dept facility. This home needs the right buyer to give it some "TLC", and a contractor has noted that it has "good bones". Outbuildings include a detached garage with opener, a barn, a corn crib and a newer machine shop. You'll also find a couple of chicken coops, a number of hog houses as well as several water hydrants throughout the property. There are mowed trails to access the back of the property. It's like stepping back in time as you walk through this home right down to the antique crank telephone!! Entire home has hardwood floors and 2 fireplaces. The fireplace in the living room has geodes, fossils, arrowheads, mortar/pestle set, stone ax head and other unique stones with built-in bookcases on each side. The second fireplace is in a small room in the basement where the kids used to play. Main level offers a large living room, dining room, kitchen with table space, a bedroom with a 3/4 bath (which could be used as an office/den) and a huge enclosed front porch with concrete floor. Upstairs, you'll find 4 more bedrooms and a full bath with clawfoot tub and antique pedestal sink. There's also a large walk-up attic and full basement for tons of added storage space. You'll never run out of water with city water, a working well plus a cistern under the enclosed porch. Roof/soffit/gutters approximately 5 yrs old and HWH new in 2021. BUYER TAKES ALL - literally. The sellers have removed everything they want other than the security system, so buyer will be responsible for clean-out of the house, outbuildings and property. This could really be a stately property with some updates and grounds maintenance. Home is being sold in "as is" condition - cash or conventional loans only. (911 sign at the road shows the address as 16001 Manlove St).
