1431 Old State Route 13
Nestled on approximately 5 wooded acres backing directly to the Kaskaskia River State Fish & Wildlife Area, this well-maintained custom-built, single-owner home offers approximately 3,450 square feet of living space in a peaceful country setting. The main level features a spacious kitchen with quartz countertops, abundant oak cabinetry, a center island with seating, Jenn-Air range, breakfast area, and built-in desk. The formal living room offers wood flooring, crown molding, and a gas/wood-burning fireplace with blower. A large family room addition (2010) includes tile flooring, a wet bar, and generous storage, while the cedar sunroom (2016) features a vaulted ceiling and EZ-Breeze windows/screens overlooking the wooded backyard. The main-floor primary suite includes a walk-in closet and an updated ensuite bath with double vanity, step-in shower, whirlpool tub, and skylight. A remodeled laundry room and half bath complete the main level.
Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual vanities and skylight. A spacious bonus room above the attached garage, recently updated with new laminate flooring and fresh paint, offers the flexibility of a fourth bedroom, recreation room, or home office and includes additional attic storage. Separate HVAC systems provide independent heating and cooling for the upper and lower levels.
Outdoor amenities include a large rear deck with a motorized Sunsetter retractable awning, a walkway leading to the 16' x 28' above-ground pool, and a beautifully wooded setting. In addition to the attached two-car garage, the property includes an oversized detached two-car garage (approximately 676 sq. ft.) with its own electrical panel and a storage shed plus an RV plug in. Additional features include a central vacuum system, encapsulated 4-foot crawl space with SaniDry dehumidifier and three Super Sump pumps, roof replaced in 2015, LiftMaster Wi-Fi garage door openers (2023), and a freshly rocked driveway (2025). This property combines spacious indoor living, extensive storage, and a private natural setting while remaining just minutes from town.
