Overview

PHOTOS COMING THURSDAY - PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Friday, February 24, 2026 from 4 - 6 p.m.! Welcome to 497 Mary Drive in Waterloo, Illinois — a beautifully updated ranch home built in 1995, perfectly positioned on a desirable corner lot just off Lakeview Drive. This 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home offers an open and inviting floor plan with vaulted ceilings and a cozy gas fireplace that creates the perfect gathering space. Originally designed as a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with an office just off the foyer to the left, the current homeowners thoughtfully enclosed the hallway office to create a true third bedroom — adding both functionality and flexibility to the layout. The eat-in kitchen is truly the heart of the home, showcasing stunning white cabinetry — some with elegant glass-front doors — crown molding, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, built-in trash container, touch-operated faucet, and KitchenAid appliances that will all remain. A huge custom pantry with a barn-style sliding door adds both charm and practicality. The updated laundry room is a standout feature, beautifully renovated with tile flooring, additional cabinetry, new can lighting, and a convenient pocket door. The spacious primary suite offers shiplap accents, crown molding, a custom walk-in closet, and a large private bath complete with a single bowl vanity and separate tub and shower. Additional shiplap details in the foyer and primary bedroom bring warm, modern farmhouse character throughout the home. This home offers not one, but two hot water heaters — providing added convenience and efficiency for daily use. Step outside to enjoy the covered patio with ceiling fan — perfect for relaxing evenings or entertaining guests — along with a storage shed for added storage. The lower level remains unfinished, offering a blank canvas and endless potential for additional living space, recreation area, or storage. This home has been meticulously maintained with extensive updates, including: new roof on home and shed (2025 by Total Roofing), lime-washed exterior brick, vinyl siding by Jacob (2025), new garage door system (2025), HVAC system by Belloman (2024), primary bath updates (2023), built-in closet system in the primary bedroom (2023), carpet and LVP flooring throughout (2021), hot water heater (2021), lighting, door hinges and knobs replaced (2020), fence installation (2020), updated blinds throughout, smart thermostat system, and more. If you’ve been searching for a move-in ready home with modern updates, character, and room to grow — 497 Mary Drive is ready to welcome you home.
