Step into a piece of Alton history with this timeless historic home, lovingly owned by the same family for more than 54 years. Overflowing with character and craftsmanship that simply can’t be replicated, this spacious 4–5 bedroom home showcases stunning original millwork, an impressive grand entryway staircase, and the kind of charming original finishes that make historic homes so unforgettable. Blending historic elegance with everyday functionality, the updated kitchen offers modern convenience while still complementing the home’s authentic character. 10 foot ceilings, detailed woodwork, and beautifully preserved architectural features create warmth and charm throughout every room. Outside, enjoy an expansive back deck overlooking the private, flat backyard — the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing evenings, gardening, or simply enjoying your own peaceful outdoor retreat. Centrally located in Alton, this one-of-a-kind property offers quick access to shopping, dining, schools, and the charm of the historic river town itself. Homes with this level of preserved character and long-term pride of ownership rarely become available. With newer windows, an attic fan, and the HVAC replaced in 2024, you can enjoy a more efficient home.
