4 Kniepkamp Pl, Belleville, IL 62221

Quaint 'Mother, Mother-in-law", student or couple type residence is nearly 600 square foot, located on small lot in east Belleville, close alongside larger 1700 square foot residence which is also for sale. This cute little cottage is currently rented which we are happy about, so we would give the renter several months notice if we sold it along with larger home per needs of buyer. If not, homes are on individual lots, so we can keep the smaller one. Building was used as a business originally and then purchased by owner of larger home next door and rented to an older relative, and now several other singles for years. Building was completely remodelled a couple of years ago, during which time the shingle roof was replaced, home was completely painted inside and out, and new vinyl flooring and hot water heater added to kitchen and bathroom redone, while laminate wood flooring added to living room and bedroom. New sink, faucet and shower installed in bathroom at that time. Kitchen offers metal cabinets, a newer refrigerator and microwave, wine rack, metal shelving, small kitchen table w/2 chairs, and butcher block cabinet w/storage. Whole house-type window air conditioner in kitchen window cools the entire cottage nicely, and gas furnace heats the place economically in winter. Bedroom has a center ceiling fan and light combo, coat closet plus a walk-in closet of its entire length. Windows are older wooden variety, all with aluminum storm windows attached. Front of home is vinyl sided, and other three sides are sided with older wooden siding. Very small yard (easily weedwacked, not mowed) is bordered on one side by concrete walkway under hedge bushes over 6' tall, separating it from larger home closeby, and 6' cedar fence on other side and back, between it and 2 other homes. Tiny rear yard is covered by small rockpile, and front yard partially by rockgarden and BBQ pit with canvas top, sidewalk and asphalt driveway with off street parking for 3 cars. Dead end street is within 5 minutes of metrolink, stores and restaurants, private grade school and Belleville East, and 10 minutes of Southwest IL College and downtown Belleville.
