Set on a prominent corner lot at Henry St. and E. 12th, this elegant home has been turning heads since 1848—an architectural standout rarely available in today’s market. Just moments from everyday charm, with Haskel park across the street which holds concerts, community activities and includes an iconic snow sledding hill and the beloved local Duke bakery just one block away. Saturdays (8am-12pm) May to Oct. on the riverfront Farmers' and Artisans' market is the best in the area. The lifestyle here is almost as exceptional as the home itself. Come check out both and schedule your private showing after or before the market visit.
With three expansive levels, it offers flexibility for today’s lifestyle, whether you envision generous living spaces for family, seamless areas for entertaining, a dedicated home office, gym space, or all of the above. The updated kitchen and both full baths include exquisite tile work. On the main and second level you'll have gorgeous genuine hardwood floors flowing endlessly throughout the well- appointed design. Every room welcomes you to stay a while and relax. The layout invites endless possibilities, allowing each level to evolve with your needs both now and into the future. Beyond its space and versatility, this is more than just a home—it’s an opportunity to own a piece of Alton’s rich history in luxury.
