Description
BEAUTIFUL, all brick home located in the Historic Middletown District of Alton!! Great area for dining, shopping and close to the Alton Belle. To speak of some of the updates, there has been a newer roof, 44 windows replaced, tuck pointing and brick cleaned as well. Currently a 1 family home, but could easily be transformed into a 3 home, residential rental property. Exceptional period walnut staircases are a must see within the home and the house is equipped with both 1st and 2nd floor laundry to accommodate your needs. Addresses 539 & 541 are both included in this parcel, with a little bit of a bigger need for tender love and care to the 539 space. Formerly owned by the famous Francis Honore "Frank" (Captain) Tesson. Ask your agent for a list of all the updated items. Sold as-is. Seller will not provide for occupancy. Buyer/Buyer's agent should independently verify all MARIS information, which is derived from various sources and not warranted as accurate.
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.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible. They really should hire properly trained new staff or closed the whole school down. The teacher to student ratio is too high. They only have time for the kids who can work independently, but no time for the kids who need a little help.They are unorganized. I was told I never registered my son for school when I went to the High school and fill out all the paper work, went all those stations, and talked to the principal....but I "never registered him". I had to change the bus drop off because of my work schedule. Everything was confirmed by the school and the bus company, but they still but him on the wrong bus. Called the school they assured all was fixed. Next day they did it again. My 6 year old son was walking around my neighbor until he thought to go to my neighbor's house. Thankfully his dad was working days, and was able to pick him up. I didn't find out what happened until 12am when I got off work. They took no responsibility for their actions. Hate is a strong word, but I hate that school and the stress they put my son through.Parent Review8y ago - Alton Middle School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would never recommend this school. The teachers are aloud to bully the students. The school bullies the parents when they try to speak about it. When your child misses their bus ro head home, they won't call you. They will just let you think your child is missing. They allow the high school students to ride the bus with the middle school. Had problems there. A high school student tried to stab my daughter with a pencil and the schools did nothing. Just not a good placeParent Review1y ago - North Elementary School
