About this House

This rare Mid Century Modern Hillside home is waiting for you in the Wilshire Woods subdivision in East Alton Illinois! Stunning in design but also harmonious with its surrounding environment especially its hillside terrain...this architectural design seamlessly integrates with nature bringing the outside fashionably in. Tons of original MCM architecturally significant details remain in this one family owned, built from the ground up, impressively designed plan. Floor to ceiling windows bring a panoramic view of the outside indoors for natural light filled living. 2 Bedrooms 1 full bath on the main level with an open concept living... combination kitchen/dining area that surrounds a large main level family room featuring tons of natural light. Original hardwood floors on main level, with parquet and the original slate tile entry still intact. This floor-plan features wider hallways and stairs that guide you through the home's original Mid Century modern wood toned interiors. The MCM period choices in bathroom tile & design have never been changed. Miles of windows bring in the warm glow of the sun's rays and perfectly highlights the architect's modern vision for this impressive modernist dwelling. Downstairs more original 50's knotty-pine frames the large open family room with yet another wall of floor to ceiling windows...the heart of the sporty lower level. You'll find a dedicated laundry room, a lower level sleeping room and another full bath to finish the tour of the walk out lower level. A one car tuck under garage with workshop and storage space is the icing on this MCM cake! The nearly half acre lot backs to trees and green space giving you the sense of being miles away from your busy life! Home is being sold absolutely as is.

    "To keep their children safe from strangers around here and have great schools in the area. I believe certain neighborhoods are good for children to go to such as parks in the area and the Keasler recreation center. The neighborhood near the Kessler Recreation center have affordable housing. Also in that neighborhood your near the schools and the East Alton library."

    "The deteriorated houses. The cops going the wrong way on one way streets. The neighbors going the wrong way on a one way street. All the trash hangs out outside and they all have plumbers pants. Nothing about this neighborhood is good. They should just light a match and let the whole neighborhood go."
  • Lauren L.
    "Neighbors are drug dealers, drunks attempted murders and thieves. The condemned houses and the sounds of the trains are such a delight."
  • daltonandrewdaugherty
    "Used to live there, absolutely terrible. Always people yelling and always drama and tension. Plain terrible."
