14830 W Bruns Rd, Manhattan, IL 60442

Description

Picture your mornings at 14830 W Bruns Road: coffee in hand, sunlight filtering through mature trees, the pond glistening across 2.56 acres, and not a single gravel road between you and town. This is country living without compromise, set on a paved road minutes from everything and within the highly sought-after Lincoln-Way school district. Step inside and the home welcomes you with hardwood floors, new flooring and fresh paint throughout. On cool evenings, choose between the gas fireplace and the crackle of the wood-burning fireplace. The recently updated kitchen is where the day comes together, with hard surface counters and a butler's pantry that keeps entertaining effortless and the mess out of sight. At day's end, retreat to the main-level primary suite, complete with a huge walk-in closet and a custom updated bath. This home is designed to grow and flex with your life. The main level can serve as two bedrooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath, or as a second primary suite with its own full bath, attached office and separate entrance, ideal for related living, long-term guests or a home-based business. Upstairs, two more bedrooms, a full bath and a finished attic bonus room offer space to play, create or unwind. Behind the scenes, everything is ready: new dual furnaces and dual A/C, a whole-house central vacuum, a new water heater, a full basement with radon mitigation and a 3-car attached garage, for 5 bedrooms and 3.1 baths in all. Then walk outside, where the story truly comes alive. The 104x50 pole barn features 13-foot ceilings, concrete floors, electric, water and a loading dock, and connects to a 48x30 addition built in 2004 with 12-foot doors, office space and a full bathroom. Kept comfortable year-round with four heaters and A/C, this roughly 6,500 sq ft space is a dream for the car collector, contractor, craftsman or entrepreneur. Need more room? A separate heated 60x22 garage holds six more vehicles. As the afternoon slows, collect fresh eggs from the hen house, pick dinner from the large garden, let the dog roam the fenced yard area, or cast a line into the pond stocked with fish. Here, the paved drive leads home to space, freedom and endless possibility. Rarely does one property offer this much: a beautifully updated home, a heated and cooled showpiece barn, room for a dozen-plus vehicles and true country charm, all in Lincoln-Way schools. Welcome home to Bruns Road.
