1629 Jackson Ave, Charleston, IL 61920

You will appreciate the fact that this home was once headed to demolition but the current owner chose to revive this beautiful 1895 Victorian home. The process began by taking it down to the bare frame, lath and all! (except for a few ceilings to salvage the original woodwork, second floor interior walls and turret.) Then, new from the floor coverings to drywall, insulation, windows, kitchen with built in pantry, baths (master bath was an addition), pex plumbing, electrical~including PROTRAN: a generator control hookup~, mechanics (2 furnaces & 2 central a/c units), and roof were completed in 2016. Then due to storm damage in 2021/22, the siding and roof were replaced. The fireplace (never used by owner) needs a new flue liner and some cosmetic touches to make it a beauty once again! Embrace the rustic decor or modernize if you choose. For the gear head, the 30x26 heated garage with 2 over sized doors has plenty of space for work shop, hobbies, or just extra storage. Plus...the extra large front porch makes a great place for a swing, big or small, and plenty of lounge chairs. If you love older homes, or just like the amount of space it offers, you should take a walk through this one!
