Own a piece of Belleville history! Originally built in 1887 as a carriage house, this distinctive home offers an affordable alternative to renting and is filled with natural light and historic character. The main level features a comfortable living room that opens to the dining room, a functional kitchen, a sunroom/mudroom and a convenient half bath. Upstairs you'll find the full bathroom with a walk-in shower and two tandem-style bedrooms...please note that the second bedroom is accessed through the primary bedroom. It would make a great space for a home office or craft room for those seeking a one-bedroom home, but the option remains to use it as the second bedroom as needed. Outside, the detached garage provides enclosed parking with additional storage space. The home also features a full basement with additional storage area. The property includes two lots, offering added outdoor space and possibilities for the new owner. The additional parcel is #08-22.0-407-013, measuring approximately 41' x 48', with 2025 taxes of $255. Conveniently located near the MetroLink and just minutes from the restaurants, entertainment, events and historic charm of downtown Belleville, Illinois. The property is being sold as-is, however, the home appears to be in reasonably good condition. This is a unique opportunity for a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor seeking an affordable home in a convenient Belleville location. PLEASE NOTE...the lot measurements noted in the MLS description reflect the measurement of both lots combined. Combination Samsung washer/dryer is negotiable for an added price.
