Located on a corner lot in Alton, Illinois, this unique property offers plenty of space, character, and potential. Currently being sold as a single-family residential structure, the home has a layout that may offer flexible living arrangements, with prior use suggesting possible multi-unit potential. Buyers should independently verify zoning and permitted uses with the appropriate local authorities. The main portion of the home features hardwood floors, a spacious living area, dining room, large eat-in kitchen, and multiple bedrooms and baths. Additional areas include a small lower-level one-bedroom apartment-style space, a basement area previously set up with apartment-style features, an enclosed front porch, enclosed rear porch, and a one-car built-in garage. Recent updates within the past six years include a furnace, insulation, air conditioning, and water heater, all added with energy efficiency in mind. The home also features a full basement, a unique stone foundation, and a stone fireplace in the backyard that adds character and charm. This property is in need of renovation and rejuvenation, and it is priced accordingly. A great opportunity for someone with vision to bring this large, character-filled Alton home back to life.
