If you enjoy the peacefulness of the country and the calm, quiet of a woodsy neighborhood, you'll love this week's featured home.
Located along Harmony Road in a sleepy rural section southeast of Marengo, this fine home rests on almost seven acres. The tree-lined lot and curved gravel driveway create a cozy boundary for this stone-faced A-frame home.

Inside, the home offers a flowing floor plan. A roomy foyer leads to the sunken family room with its beam-accented vaulted ceiling and two-story stone fireplace. The lovely oak trim and expansive windows frame stellar views at every turn.
Glass doors open to a covered deck, where family barbecues and outdoor parties will have a great venue.
The family room steps up to the formal dining room and country kitchen. A center island allows much space for food preparation and snacking. A little updating will go a long way in this kitchen. Step down from the kitchen into a sunny breakfast room, or out the glass doors onto a patio for a meal al fresco.
The home offers three roomy bedrooms on the main floor as well as a full laundry room. Double-door entry to the first bedroom is a bonus, while the master suite offers great views of the property. The adjoining bath features a huge, therapy-size whirlpool with shower attachment and a large walk-in closet. Solid six panel doors are a testament to the quality of the home's construction.
The home also features a spacious upstairs loft that overlooks the family room.
The finished basement offers many rooms for entertaining, guests or additional bedrooms. There is also a fireplace room, recreation area and a bar room that has been designed to look like the inside of a train's club car.
