This Cottage Style home is located in the tight-knit neighborhood of Elm Street, just a short few blocks from downtown Carbondale, SIU, the Public Library, and Memorial Hospital. A new roof in warm brown shingles has been installed. 701 W Elm has the charm of a restored century home with modern upgrades. The home features refinished hardwood floors, an updated electrical panel with space for expansion, a new sewer main, and all-electric HVAC. A south-facing sunroom extends outdoors onto a newly constructed 230 sq ft deck that surrounds a heritage Tulip Poplar tree. The basement and crawlspaces have been waterproofed with a full-perimeter French drain, stabilized, and sealed by Woods Basement Systems. (15 yr warranty) The sump pump is equipped with battery back-up. The kitchen range, hood, and refrigerator were replaced in 2023. The oversized detached garage has plenty of space for a workshop (24'x30') and features new gutters, a new metal roof, and is wired for Level 1 EV Charging compatibility. Landscape is pollinator-supportive and blooms June through September. This home has fiber optic internet and an Ecobee smart thermostat.
