503 N Russell St., Champaign, IL 61821

This urban mini-farm and home is bursting with features, including a large renovated kitchen with high quality appliances and ample cabinets, multiple mature garden plots and raised beds, and a built-in chicken coop. Plenty of room for all your projects, hobbies, or businesses in the huge 4.5 car extra deep garage. The property backs up to Preservation Pond and comes with numerous perennial flowers and fruits (cherry trees, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, rhubarb, grapes - and garlic!). The entire house has restored original hardwood floors and woodwork, updated electric and plumbing, and a charming fully-enclosed porch with large double-paned sliding windows and insulated floor that can be heated for year-round use. Even though there is central air a whole-house fan and ceiling fans in every room keep you cool for most of the summer. The 96% efficient furnace was installed in 2014 and new roof in 2019. This is also an environmentally conscious property with rain barrels, brick sidewalk and drive/patio, soft ground cover, a gravel driveway, and drainage away from the house.
