Welcome to 8718 D. Road, Waterloo, IL – Where Home, Hobby & Opportunity Come Together! Why settle for one parcel when you can own two? Situated on a total of 1.16 acres, this unique property combines comfortable country living with incredible space and possibilities. The main parcel features a custom-built 1.5-story home built in 2002, stocked pond, cattle corral, and an adorable log playhouse for the kids. The second parcel features an impressive 60' x 90' steel-constructed Warehouse offering exceptional potential for business, hobbies, equipment, storage, or recreational use. Step inside the home to a welcoming foyer. To the right is the spacious primary suite with his-and-her walk-in closets and a private bath featuring a walk-in shower and jetted Jacuzzi soaking tub. To the left is an oversized formal dining room perfect for entertaining. The adjoining eat-in kitchen offers abundant oak cabinetry, breakfast bar, white appliances (included), and plenty of counter space. A sliding door leads to the freshly painted 16' x 20' deck overlooking the property. The expansive living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while a convenient half bath completes the main level. The home also features zoned heating and cooling for added comfort. Upstairs you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, oversized utility/HVAC room with excellent storage, and a spacious bonus room that could serve as a fourth bedroom, office, playroom, or hobby room (no closet). New carpeting was installed in the hallway and one bedroom in 2025. The unfinished lower level offers 9' poured concrete walls and two large daylight windows, providing excellent potential for future living or recreational space. The room beneath the front porch could also serve as a storm shelter or safe room. Recent improvements include a new roof, LeafGuard gutters, new roof on the detached shed, and a hot water heater approximately two years old. The original HVAC system has been professionally serviced annually. The home is connected to public water, and the water softener will remain. Now for the Warehouse—a standout feature of this property! This 60' x 90' steel-constructed building includes a loading dock, basement, elevator, office area, and approximately 2,600 sq. ft. of storage area on the warehouse floor. It also features a 30,000-gallon cistern and deep well, both of which need some work. The elevator is in need of an electrical switch. A walk-in cooler is located in the basement; its condition is unknown. A new 200-amp electrical service has been installed, with some rewiring completed. The Warehouse has also been recently painted and the roof freshly sealed. Outside, enjoy a stocked pond with bluegill, bass, and channel catfish, along with a corral in the rear for cattle, providing even more possibilities for this one-of-a-kind property. According to the seller, the property is zoned Residential/Commercial, creating added flexibility for future use. Properties combining a custom home, two parcels, steel Warehouse, pond, cattle corral, storage, and Residential/Commercial zoning don't come along often. Whether you're looking for a place to call home, room for your hobbies, or space to operate a business, 8718 D. Road offers an opportunity you won't want to miss!
