About this House

Not every home needs to be brand new to feel like the right fit. Sometimes it's the extra space, timeless charm, and possibilities that make all the difference. Whether you're looking for extra outdoor space, room to spread out inside, or a home with character, this Herrin property delivers. Sitting on a double lot, you'll have plenty of space to garden, entertain, let pets roam, or simply enjoy having breathing room. Step onto the inviting covered front porch—perfect for a porch swing and your morning coffee—then head inside to discover over 1,400 square feet of comfortable living space. The oversized living room welcomes gatherings of every size, while the adjoining family room, complete with a cozy fireplace, creates the perfect spot to unwind on cool evenings. The dining room offers a dedicated place to host holidays, game nights, or everyday dinners, and the home's thoughtful layout provides flexibility for the way you live. Mature trees, established landscaping, and generous yard space complete the package, creating a property that feels as inviting outside as it does inside. If you've been waiting for a home that offers more than just four walls—a place with space, warmth, and room to make your own memories—this one deserves a look. Call today for a showing!

  • Leslie Neblock
    "I live here now, dogs and cats running around everywhere. No one takes care of their home. I want to move and I could not raise children here"
  • Elaina M.

  • Erismorreti
    "People will poison and otherwise hurt pit bulls in my neighborhood. I sent mine to live with my ex because our neighbor wouldn’t stop attacking him. Another neighbor threatened to kill any more pit bulls anyone brought to our street. "
  • Robby C.

  • Theronstewart18

  • Chris
    "Herrin is a decent town, with a friendly vibe. Seems pretty progressive for its location. 25 minute commute to work. Minimal traffic. Herrin could use more civic amenities i.e...new oublic park, library, bike/walking trails, updated public water park, public greenway, movie theatre, cultural events and a ymca. "
  • Hannah R.
    "On the 1800 block of 14th street we have Obnoxious neighbors and loud dogs 😂 don’t bother contacting animal control or the police because nothing will make a difference 🤷🏼‍♀️ and forget contacting an alderman about literally anything from a needed stop sign to downed lines or shrubbery blocking road signs causing accidents. And don’t forget the noisy employees at SNC"
  • Debbiejoneslocker
    "It's not unique anymore due to the recent clash of addicts roaming the streets and indulging in our properties. I grew up here and hope it goes back to the way it was. "
  • Mlstvens08
    "Quiet neighborhood near park. Low traffic. Park within walking distance. Newer subdivision. Several older residents and families in the neighborhood. Very community oriented "
  • Jamie M.
    "Herrin is a very friendly community and old neighborhood known for the itialiana festival. Very well mannered children. Always has been more safe then most but anywhere you go these days seems their is trouble with drugs everywhere"
  • Robin g.
    "I have lived here all my life in chittyville for 15 years. Mostly quiet close to town but far enough away"
  • Caitlin
    "I used to live in this area when I was in college. It felt like a cute little American town. Nice local restaurants in Herrin. Close enough to the college to easily commute every day, but far enough away that you don't have to deal with loud late night partying. Loved my neighbors in Herrin. The only time there is any traffic is during HerrinFest. Miss living in such a cute little community!"
