Property Description
CHARMING, UPDATED & FULLY FURNISHED IN A DESIRABLE ALTON LOCATION! Don’t let the 1 bedroom fool you—this home feels so much larger than you’d expect! High ceilings, an extra-large living room and a spacious dining room create an open, airy feel with plenty of room to relax and entertain. The welcoming kitchen complements the home’s fresh, modern look and offers a comfortable, functional space for everyday living. The updates are already done for you! Features include a NEW FURNACE, NEW front and back doors, TWO NEW windows, fresh paint throughout including the trim, and sewer line replacement inside the home, with the exterior line replaced by the city with prior owner. Even better, the washer and dryer have been relocated to the main level for added convenience. The basement provides additional storage space. Step outside to the covered back deck overlooking a mostly fenced, flat yard—the perfect peaceful spot for morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day. You may even catch the neighborhood deer stopping by! Whether you’re looking to downsize, purchase your first home, simplify your lifestyle, attend school nearby, or add to your investment portfolio, this property offers plenty of possibilities. Being offered fully furnished also creates an exciting opportunity for someone considering a turnkey furnished or mid-term rental for traveling nurses and other professionals. Updated, furnished, surprisingly spacious and ready for its next chapter—this Alton gem is one you’ll want to see! Ask your agent about a driveway! Home is being offered furnished.
