Property Description

Welcome Home to 612 Russell Rd! Park Front Living with Major Infrastructure Peace of Mind. Perfectly positioned across the street from Welsh Park, this well-maintained split-level home offers a rare combination of location, space, and long-term value in a desirable DeKalb neighborhood. The home features generous living areas filled with natural light and a functional multi-level layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The main living space enjoys park-facing views, while the kitchen offers ample cabinetry, counter space, and a practical layout ready for personalization over time. This home includes three comfortable bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and flexible lower-level living space well-suited for a family room, home office, or recreation area. Hardwood flooring in the bedrooms adds warmth and character, while efficient three-zone hot water heating paired with central air conditioning provides year-round comfort and flexibility. The main sewer line to the county was replaced in 2019, a $20,000+ improvement that removes one of the biggest ownership risks in older homes. Outside, enjoy a spacious backyard with a sculptured brick patio, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing at home. The exterior also includes updated gutters and a comfortable outdoor layout. Located just minutes from Northern Illinois University, this home offers convenient access to campus, downtown DeKalb, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, making it an excellent option for buyers seeking a home near NIU with strong long-term value. The property is being sold AS-IS, allowing buyers the flexibility to update at their own pace while benefiting from solid fundamentals, thoughtful systems, and an exceptional park-front setting. Offered at a price that reflects cosmetic flexibility while delivering major infrastructure peace of mind, this park-front home presents a rare opportunity in DeKalb.
