310 Washington Street, Carlyle, IL 62231

Every good story starts at the front door. This one happens to be yellow. Picture the porch light on, the shade trees glowing at sunset, and a bright yellow door that tells everyone on the block exactly which house is yours. Saturday mornings start with coffee on the covered front porch. Afternoons belong to the fenced backyard. The dog runs free, the kids claim the shade under the big mature trees, and the grill fires up on the back deck. When the day winds down, you're just minutes from Carlyle Lake for a sunset drive. Inside, this 3 bed, 1 bath ranch offers about 1,100 sq ft. Warm wood-tone flooring runs through the living and dining areas, and every room has a ceiling fan. The eat-in kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, a modern statement light, and a full black appliance package: side-by-side fridge, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. You also get three bedrooms with closets and an unfinished basement with built-in shelving and a sump pump, ready for storage or a future finish. A storage shed and a wide concrete parking pad round it out. The advantage: a corner lot made up of two parcels totaling .13 acres, with room to plan a garage or addition down the road (buyer to verify with the City of Carlyle). The home is already proven as a rental, so it works just as well for a first-time buyer as it does for an investor. Affordable, move-in-ready homes like this don't sit long in Carlyle. Come see it at our Open House on Sunday, November 1, from 11am to 1pm.
