This spacious historic home offers a rare opportunity to complete a renovation that is already well underway. Much of the demolition has been completed, exposing the home's original framing and allowing the next owner to focus on rebuilding rather than tear-out. Electrical updates have already begun, providing a valuable head start while leaving the finish selections and final design to the next owner. Originally constructed in 1935, the home reflects the clean lines and practical craftsmanship of the Minimal Traditional movement, blending the timeless character of Cape Cod and Colonial Revival architecture with a simpler, more refined approach to residential design. Its steep rooflines, original staircase, substantial wood doors, oversized windows, and thoughtfully proportioned living spaces remain as reminders of that enduring, beautiful architectural character of its era. Unlike many historic homes that have lost their defining character over time, this home still retains many of the architectural elements that make restoration both rewarding and worthwhile. Many of the home's original architectural details remain intact and are ready to become part of its next chapter. The awe-inspiring original divided-light wood front door has welcomed generations of visitors and remains one of the home's defining architectural features, offering a glimpse of the craftsmanship that continues throughout the interior. Original five-panel wood doors, exposed brick, tall ceilings, oversized windows, and a substantial staircase further reflect the quality of craftsmanship that defines historic homes. The original trim has been carefully removed, labeled, and preserved, ready to be reinstalled as the home's restoration continues. The enclosed second-floor sleeping porch—an increasingly rare hallmark of many homes from this era—offers a unique space that could once again become a light-filled office, reading room, studio, or private retreat. Large original windows fill the home with natural light, further highlighting the proportions and craftsmanship that make historic homes so enduringly appealing. The generous room sizes and flexible floor plan provide numerous possibilities depending on your goals. Whether restoring the home for resale, adding it to a long-term rental portfolio, or creating a personal residence, much of the discovery work has already been completed, allowing renovation plans to move forward more efficiently. The home's original layout and architectural integrity remain remarkably intact, providing an excellent foundation for restoration. Its location adds to the investment appeal. Situated just minutes from the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine, Alton Memorial Hospital, OSF Saint Anthony's Health Center, and the surrounding medical corridor, the property is well positioned for long-term rental demand from students, faculty, healthcare professionals, and traveling nurses. Owner-occupants may also wish to explore renovation financing options, including FHA 203(k) and Fannie Mae HomeStyle® loans, which can allow qualified buyers to finance both the purchase and renovation through a single mortgage. Whether your plans involve restoring its historic character, creating a quality rental property, or completing a renovation for resale, this property offers the space, character, architectural integrity, and solid foundation to bring that vision to life. Selected as part of the Penthouse Restoration Collection for its exceptional opportunity, untapped potential, and distinctive character, this home invites investors, renovators, and future homeowners to create lasting value through thoughtful restoration, strategic renovation, and inspired design.
