Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover

From the outside the home looks a bit run down, however, the inside is clean, well appointed, and updated with decor that has modern simple lines. Property manager responded quickly to questions about opening door code, and oven not working. Close to NIU campus and convenient to baseball stadium to watch games.
