About this House

Charm and affordability with this 1.5-story home that offers more than meets the eye.

Inside, you’ll find 3–4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with the flexible upper level easily serving as a spacious family room or an additional bedroom to fit your needs. The main level features a bright, eat-in kitchen perfect for gathering, and a spacious living room that offers plenty of room to relax or entertain. Some rooms showcase the wood flooring, adding warmth and charm throughout. A partial unfinished basement provides extra storage and space for a washer and dryer.
Outdoors, enjoy a fenced yard that’s ideal for pets, play, or your own garden retreat. Don’t forget to enjoy the front porch by adding flowers, a swing or a good ole’ rocker. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to own for less than the cost of renting, this home is a wonderful opportunity to put down roots without stretching your budget.

"Charleston is a safe place to live and raise a family. It has a small community feel but with more modern connections and convenience. If you are in school, Charelston is the home of EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY, A fantastic School! Rent is high! Housing goes quick especially around the summer time.. People are very nice and approachable. All in all, I would recommend! "

"Charleston is a small college town. If you live in the "center city" it is easy to walk to all of the activities at Eastern Illinois Univ which is lots of fun. There is a lovely historic district bordering the campus to the north with lovely old homes of the Victorian/Edwardian era. Between EIU campus and the historic Square downtown is all historic district. Charleston is rich with Lincoln history and college vitality. It is a safe small town, nice for families as well as students and senior citizens. The person, "Terrie" who reviewed her housing and landlord problems did not review Charleston, nor did she say where her house is located. Every town has good and bad landlords and good and bad housing. Charleston is a college town and has both. For homeowners and permanent residents, as well as students, it can be a charming, midwestern town close to St. Louis, Champaign-Urbana and the Univ. of Illinois, Terre Haute and Indianapolis, IN but while being a one-two hour drive to big cities, it is a comfy, safe place to live.
