Property Description
Welcome to 1711 Braden Drive in Normal, where space, updates, and location all line up beautifully. This 4-bedroom, 2 full bath bi-level sits proudly on a generous corner lot just shy of a third of an acre, giving you room to breathe both inside and out. Step out back and you'll find what so many buyers are chasing right now, a large, fully fenced yard that is perfect for pets, play, or weekend gatherings. The elevated deck is a great entertaining space and flows right down into the spacious backyard. Inside, you'll appreciate the thoughtful updates that take the heavy lifting off your plate. The kitchen was refreshed in 2017, offering a clean and functional space to cook and gather. Major mechanicals and exterior items have been addressed as well, including a new furnace in 2026, A/C replaced around 2017, roof believed to be 2019, a new driveway in 2023, and a new garage door in 2024. Those are the kinds of updates that give buyers real peace of mind. The location is the cherry on top, tucked into an established neighborhood near schools and a park, making daily routines and weekend outings easy and convenient. If you're looking for a move-in ready home with solid updates, great outdoor space, and a location that checks the boxes, this one deserves a serious look.
