Spring Home Maintenance TIPS… 1. Check those leaky GUTTERS… to prevent water in your basement! Make sure your gutter downspouts drain away from the foundation and remove all debris! 2. Look for damaged ROOF shingles to see how badly winter took its toll! 3. Keep Cool! Have a qualified HVAC pro clean and service your A/C! 4. Take down, clean and store storm windows and install your window screens!

The combination of low interest rates for home buyers and a shortage of homes for sale in many areas of the country indicate that now may be the right time to sell.

Complete Privacy! No Backyard Neighbors!

Situated on 58 rolling acres, King's Mill Subdivision offers 23 single family lots ranging from one to two acres in size. Each lot was carefully positioned to provide no backyard neighbors - allowing each homeowner complete privacy. Most lots have a nice, gradual slope allowing for walk-out construction. A walking trail (which in the future will connect with Constitution Trail) runs behind the two ponds at the South end of the subdivision - providing a safe environment for a leisurely stroll with family and friends. All lots have city water, Northern Illinois Gas. Corn Belt Electric utilities. The school system is Unit 5 School District. King's Mill Subdivision offers the best of both worlds, peaceful country charm, yet all the benefits of city living. 2014 Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.
