123 W 5th Street, Roxana, IL 62084

Some homes are updated. This one was reimagined. Six years ago, this home was taken down to the bones and thoughtfully put back together-and you can feel the difference from the moment you walk through the front door. This wasn't a quick cosmetic refresh.

Electrical, water lines, insulation and windows were updated while the kitchen and bathrooms were completely redone, along with flooring, cabinetry, appliances and finishes throughout the home. The result is a house that feels warm, comfortable and genuinely inviting.

A gas fireplace was added to give the living space that cozy, stay-awhile feeling, while details like two pantries and an attic fan add the kind of practicality you appreciate after you live somewhere awhile. And then there's the back of the house. Two decks give you room to take life outside-morning coffee, dinner on a summer evening, or a quiet place to unwind at the end of the day.

The walk-out basement adds even more possibility and connects the lower level directly to the outdoors. There's something especially appealing about a home where the work wasn't simply done to prepare it for sale-it was done to make it a better place to live. 123 W 5th Street is that kind of home. Come see it in person. The pictures show the updates, but the feeling of this one is even better.
