1618 SE River Road, Montgomery, IL 60538

Looking for a well-maintained ranch home directly across from the Fox River and trail? Don't miss this opportunity! A lovely, west-facing, 2 bedroom (with potential to convert back to a 3 BR), 2 bath home is now available for sale in the western suburb of Montgomery, IL! This all-brick residence rests on a huge lot and is set farther back from the road by an extended driveway with a convenient turnaround spot; making for easy "in and out" to Route 25. As you approach, you will notice the extra-wide 2 car garage with so much additional space and 5 windows allowing for natural sunlight. A nicely-sized "breezeway" enclosed porch connects the garage to the home and also provides access to the fully-fenced backyard. Upon entering the front door, take in the large living room with a picture window that has a view of the trail and river bank. Adjacent to this area is an eat-in kitchen with newer (2024) laminate flooring and a u-shaped cabinet layout. Proceed down the hallway to a full bath with linen closet, extra-wide vanity, and low-maintenance fiberglass surround tub and shower. Then, you will see a secondary bedroom that could also be a home office. The spacious primary bedroom is a result of two previous bedrooms being combined and features a walk-in closet. Take a trip down to the full-finished basement (with new laminate flooring on stairs 2024) and you will see the laundry area and sink, workshop with cabinets, an open, large main room that could be utilized for recreation/entertaining, a utility room with storage options, and a full bath. So many possibilities! The backyard has an eastern exposure, patio, and an excellent view of fireworks during the annual Montgomery Fest. Recent updates include newer ROOF (2023), sump pump (2024) with battery backup, ejector pump (2022), septic cleaned out (2023), and new wiring for well pump (2024). All of this and you can become a frequent patron at the popular Riverview Diner, located only 3/10 of a mile north and on the same side of the street! Porter Park is right down the street. Right across the bridge and river is quaint downtown Montgomery. The Fox River trail is right there; biking, nature walks (might see an occasional Eagle!), running, fishing and more! It's time to make this home yours! Don't miss the 3D Walk-Through tour and video included on this listing!
