About this House

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.
539 E 6th St, Alton, IL 62002 is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 4,200 sqft single-family home built in 1885. It last sold for $110,000 on Feb 19, 2021. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $153,000, with a rent estimate of $2,477/month.

    "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!"
