This is a lovely duplex in Byron, IL. I needed to be close to Byron Dragway for an event, and this was perfect - literally a 3 minute drive. I love that the duplex has a washer and dryer - it made my packing much lighter since I could do laundry. The A/C kept up with the very hot July heat wave. This property had everything I needed! I especially appreciate that there was a TV in each bedroom; it was a really nice surprise.
