232 Jefferson St, Hanover, IL 61041

Fixer-upper opportunity in Hanover, IL on State Route 84. Over the last 150 years, this property has served the town as a grocery store, butcher, and bakery! The two-story historic brick building offers over 2,500 sq. ft as well as a 460 sq. ft. brick garage and off-street parking in the driveway.  An apartment was built between the brick structures that is in disrepair and needs to be torn down. Also included in this sale, is an adjoined parcel consisting of an additional 3.5 lots (Parcel ID 09-001-101-00) with a yard and mature fruit trees that extends all the way to Fillmore Street with city utilities available. The upper level of the brick building is in need of TLC and is set up as a 3 bed, 1 bath apartment with tall ceilings and most of the original wood floors, doors, and built-in cabinets. There are some newer windows on the upper level as well as attic storage. The lower level needs the most work and could be finished into a second apartment or commercial use with village approval. There is a portion of the lower level that is sectioned off with a separate front entrance creating the potential for a live/work setup. Partial unfinished basement houses the water heater. The property was converted to gas furnace heat 15-20 years ago and the electric baseboards are still in place, but not in use. Buyers are welcome to inspect the property at their cost, but please note that the property is being sold AS-IS and the Seller will not be making any repairs. At just $28 per square foot, it may just be cheaper to renovate historic than to build right now.
