Welcome home to this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch in the highly sought-after Prairie Fields subdivision! From the moment you step into the inviting foyer, you'll appreciate the thoughtful layout, with two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath perfectly situated at the front of the home. Convenience meets function just off the garage, where a laundry room with built-in lockers keeps everyday life organized. The heart of the home features an open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining area-ideal for both entertaining and daily living-highlighted by rich hardwood floors that flow throughout the main living spaces. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a large window overlooking the backyard and a private en-suite bath. Downstairs, the finished basement expands your living space with a large rec room, an additional bedroom, a half bath (that could be made into a full), and an abundance of storage. Step outside to your own backyard oasis, complete with a patio, hot tub under a pergola, and beautifully landscaped surroundings-perfect for relaxing or hosting guests. Recent updates include A/C (2024), fresh paint (2024), garbage disposal (2026) and new wood blinds and shutters (2024). The home is also equipped with a Vivant security system for added peace of mind. Ideally located near schools, parks, shopping, and just a short drive to UIUC, this home truly has it all!

Step into a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of downtown Philo history. Originally built in the early 1900's, the iconic Old Lowry building has been completely rehabbed and thoughtfully reimagined, blending timeless character with modern functionality. The main level currently operates as a stylish and welcoming salon, featuring a seamless combination of hair services, retail space, and a private med spa. Exposed brick walls add warmth and authenticity, while luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout for a clean, upscale finish. The layout is both practical and inviting, offering two separate guest bathrooms, a dedicated laundry area with washer, dryer, sink, and shelving, and a private treatment room ideal for med spa services. A separate section of the main floor provides its own distinct experience, complete with a reception desk, waiting area, comfortable sitting space, and a functional kitchen-perfect for client flow and business versatility. Parking is a standout feature, with ample street parking, convenient rear alley access, and a private parking spot located just outside the back door. Upstairs, a spacious three-bedroom apartment offers excellent additional income potential or owner-occupancy. The unit features new windows, generously sized rooms, and a large eat-in kitchen. Modern mechanical updates include a tankless water heater, separate furnace, and a stacked front-loading washer and dryer for added convenience. This turnkey property combines historic charm, modern upgrades, and multiple income streams-all in a prime downtown location.
