Description
Motivated Seller Alert: Charming 1922 Fixer-Upper with Great Bones – Ready for Your Vision!This spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath single-family home (2,928 sq ft) in Metropolis, IL, built in 1922, is a classic 2-story project property with tremendous potential to restore it to its former glory. It's a true diamond in the rough—offering original character combined with some modern updates, perfect for someone with renovation skills or vision who wants to create a stunning family home.Key Highlights & Updates:Newer metal roof — excellent for longevity and low maintenance.
Some new electrical work completed.
Some new windows on the main floor for improved energy efficiency and light.
Original hardwood flooring and beautiful woodwork throughout — features that add timeless charm and value once refinished.
Gas heating (with some window unit cooling).
Ceiling fans for added comfort.
Gas log fireplace — cozy focal point (though condition may need checking).
Vinyl siding exterior with a welcoming porch.
Corner lot (approx. 8,999 sq ft) — offers extra space, great curb appeal potential, and possibly room for outdoor improvements.
Public water and sewer utilities.
Included appliances: Refrigerator and range/oven.
Parking: Other/garage setup (details to confirm).
Flooring mix: Hardwood (original in areas), laminate in kitchen, carpet in master bedroom.
What It Needs:
This is a genuine fixer-upper requiring significant work to bring it up to modern standards (full cosmetics, possible updates to plumbing/HVAC, finishing any incomplete areas, and general TLC). No central air conditioning (relies on window units), and some systems/finishes are dated. It's not move-in ready but has solid bones and character that many renovated historic homes in the area lack.Location & Market Context:
Located in Metropolis, IL (Massac County), a small, friendly community. The local real estate market shows average home values around $110,000–$130,000 (with medians varying by source), and fixer-uppers often sell at a discount for investors or DIY enthusiasts. With a motivated seller, this could be an excellent opportunity in a market where inventory includes affordable options and modest price growth.Imagine transforming this grand old home: restoring the hardwood floors to shine, updating the kitchen and baths, adding central air, and showcasing the original woodwork—turning it into a standout property worth far more than the investment!This property is currently off-market (not actively listed on major sites like Zillow), so it's a private opportunity. Contact for details, pricing, showings, or more photos/info.Perfect for flippers, investors, or homeowners looking for a rewarding project in a quiet town. Don't miss out—motivated seller means flexible terms possible!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been in this school system for 9 years with children at every grade level throughout the district. This has definitely become "Home" for our family. In our experience, the teacher involvement and care for the children Far Exceeds the call of duty at every grade level. Even as the principals changed hands within this school, the integrity and standards of the school were never compromised. Even as we prepare to leave this area, we are looking for schools that have nothing less than the standards of "Home." Thank You MES for Some wonderful childhood memories for my kids!Parent Review13y ago - Massac County High School
