Description

Wonderful brick home in the heart of Alton. The home is currently empty and awaiting your new vision. This is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home with plenty of room and appeal. Additional living space can be found downstairs in the partially finished basement. Laundry space and a roughed in bathroom area provide plenty of options for expanding into the more than 1,600 sqft of available space that you will find here. Step outside and you'll find a large back patio and a detached garage.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from December 12, 2025

    "This is a beautiful neighborhood with a lot of diversity. It has character and old fashion appeal. Large homes, duplex and apartments with its originality. The community has survived the worst although the love and spirit of the city is here. Perfectly located in the middle of everything, the smell of Fast Eddies Chicken or fried rice from the Hong Kong house decorates the air. I love it here, it’s safe with the beautiful mixture of people from all walks of life. Like with any city this area has its flaws, yet the flaws is what makes the beauty of it all!"
