Are you looking for a home to renovate with a lot of charm, space & an open floorplan in the booming City of Alton? This beauty has its original pocket doors, tall ceilings, hardwood floors & wood door casing! This gem was converted into and used as a doctor's office most recently but is also zoned as a single-family residence. There is a wall currently dividing the Living & Dining Rooms, but it was just created to partition the waiting room from the reception area of the doctor's office & could easily be removed as it's not load-bearing. The Dining Room once featured a Bay Window that could easily be brought back to life by adding the middle window and re-working some of the exterior siding. It could fit a round table up to 7 feet that could seat up to 12 people! The large kitchen features a nice-sized butler's pantry. The possible kitchen configurations are endless! The generously-sized bedrooms have loads of character & are ready for your modern touch. The unfinished attic with tall ceilings could easily be additional living area with zoned heating/cooling HVAC system. A 4th/5th bedroom could be added (w egress windows at the front & back of the house), a bathroom & large family room/rec space added. This classy home is just a 7-minute walk to SIUE Dental School and close to restaurants & coffee shops, making it an excellent rental, flip, or primary residence after renovation. Check out the Fannie Mae HomeStyle or FHA 203(k) loans if you don't have the cash to renovate!
